>>>The top-of-the-line SyncPhone will have Intel® Atom™ x7-Z8700 2.40GHz 8GB RAM 64bit , 128gig + MicroSD - that sounds pretty decent to me - better specs than the tablets I own now actually. Obviously not a power-house, but certainly usable.

>Agreed. I think my first 286 had 640MB RAM and a 20 GB drive. Most phones these days outperform it.

You meant 20MB. And today's phones outperform the banks' machines of the time.

I late eighties I was an admin (in then-DEC-speak, system manager) on a VAX, with 2MB RAM (soon expanded to whopping 4), which served about 20 terminals in a 1km radius. Had three 340MB disks, size of today's microwave each. And a backup tape drive with its own Motorola 68000 processor. Took me about six years to have a machine with so much RAM, and three more to have that much disk space.
