...comes to notebook PCs, thin usually means expensive. But a new line of sub-$1,000, 3-lb. notebooks running the Windows CE operating system is both svelte and affordable. Hewlett-Packard's Jornada, Sharp's Mobilon Pro and Vadem's Clio feature built-in modems, word-processing and spreadsheet programs, and offer up to 12 hours of battery life.

...read them. Think of XML as doing for the Web what Windows and the Mac did for personal computers. When you click on a document on a Windows-based PC, the operating system is smart enough to recognize that you've selected a word-processing document or a spreadsheet or a piece of E-mail, and to launch the appropriate application.
