- The active book is now the EO Personal Communicator. The company was to use ARM
- architecture but probably didn't have enough money to carry the project through
- so they got venture capital backing and various companys became involved
- including at&t. They then adopted the new HOBBIT CRISC architecture and have
- recently launched there first computer.
-
- It is a Gridpad sized machine with a tablet for writing on and funny 'ears'
- sticking out (see funky dig below!).

- These 'ears' contain all the ports and speakers.

- There is a major article in Personal Computer World. This is a British mag so
- I'm not sure if anyone can get it in the states?
- The article claims to have the first review of the product. It also has info on
- the at&t HOBBIT as well.
