Computers: Feedback: Palmed off

I HAD been looking at the palmtop computer market for some time and had identified the Mitac 1600E as the likely choice.

Richard North's article praising it promted me to take my inquiries to the next stage, that is checking with Mitac that the machine would run the software of my choice.

Disaster. Mitac no longer produce the 1600E and have no plans to do so again. Does Mr North have any suggestions? Is there an alternative? Is the same machine now being imported/distributed by another company.
