Celia Redfly goes where Palm Foleo dared not tread

Pocketnow unboxes Celio's Redfly, a device that acts as a mobile companion to your "small and nimble" Windows mobile device. It is, essentially, a Palm Foleo. Except it isn't.

If it were a cheap subnote, it'd be fodder for a lot more attention: it weighs only 2 pounds, has a plain but minimal look to it, two USB ports and VGA out. It's 9 inches long, has an 800x480 8" screen and an 80-key keyboard, and a claimed 8 hour battery life. But that's it.

A cheap price and 8 hour battery life with almost *any* modern PC functionality is almost a guaranteed sale with me. Unfortunately, it has no OS, no CPU (but I bet it does, really), and no storage — no wonder it has great battery life! It's literally a dumb terminal for a cellphone. For $500.
