One person wrote in saying that the handheld computer the Wizard reciently reviewed in BYTE was from the same OEM as the Folio. I am pretty sure, however, that this is not the case. The Wizard is basically an electronic appointment book, it is not IBM compatable and is very limited. I also do not think that there will be other computers just like the Folio, because I remember hearing (don't quote me though, this is a rumor) Atari bought all of the rights to the technology of the Folio (which was developed by a European company), so no other company can release a device using the same hardware. Remember, this was just a rumor so I would like to hear anything to support or disprove this fact.
