If you're talking just BBC Basic then the Z88 was more a Beeb laptop than
anything else (I hope my memory is correct in thinking the Z88 had BBC Basic
and business software compatible with the View suite)!

Now - if someone comes up with a Java implementation of a Beeb emulator,
then I'd be happy to play Elite on a decent PDA in a year's time [based on
my expectations of the way technology is likely to evolve over the next year
or so]

Well the Tandy TRS-80 100/102 is the closest you can get to a BEEB laptop I
think

Now, a Beeb emulator which ran under EPOC would be nice. Psion Series 7
pretending to be a beeb - a laptop beeb? Cool.
