"I put this device to the ultimate test on the first day of work, dropped my notebook pens and every manual item you can possibly take to a meeting. Fired up OneNote, held a 3 hour meeting took all the notes I needed on my Booklet, attached pictures from my N900 and I was the first one out of the door. Didn’t have to gather all my papers, put together my laptop disconnect my charger, and wind up all sorts of wires. The best part I even leave quicker, All I’ve got is my Booklet and I’m out, charger is at home." - Myroslav Opyr from Bookmarklet

Gallery got extra photos of step by step Booklet Opening process. It appears that HDD is not soldered (like many told earlier). The only special item is drive's power-data connector that requires the replacement drive to have exact metrics and connector placement as in original Toshiba MK1235GSL. - Myroslav Opyr

New photos in gallery shows how HDD was replaced with Intel X18-M SSD. What is next? RAM, Overclocking? - Myroslav Opyr

And again Linux. It appears that there will be quite good recipe of how to run Linux on Booklet soon: "Turned out the BIOS and mode-setting is so Intel i810′ish that adding GMA500 / Poulsbo support to 915resolution was easy :-) 915resolution 49 1280 720 16 915resolution 58 1280 720 32" - Myroslav Opyr from Bookmarklet

Linux on a Booklet (mixed impressions): "Last Sunday, I compiled Qt 4.6 and KDE from trunk in the booklet and started to play with it to make it run well. The only way that I found for composite was to use XRender (yeah, it will run way slower, but it is a workaround while we don’t have good graphics drivers). As the result, the KDE effects based on KWin were running slow (so the workaround was to change the animation speed to ‘Instant’). The result of this hacks can be seen in the following videos, which I recommend watching in fullscreen (sorry about my Portuguese accented English)" - Myroslav Opyr from Bookmarklet
