all that (except XP -- who cares :-), plus sunlight-readable
display, built-in camera, wireless, splash-proof.  battery life
without power management is a minimum of 3 hours.  with power
management and suspend/resume (working soon), and perhaps with
backlight off (i.e., sunlight) they expect 10 hours.  biggest
downside i believe is the smaller-than-normal keyboard.  storage
is 1G of flash, expandable with 1 SD slot and 3 USB ports.
