Roan Everun Note Dual Core AMD and ATI graphics

Thoughts of the ultimate portable device begin to surface when the Roan Everun Note was introduced into the market place with an AMD Dual Core Processor and ATI graphics card in a small portable device.  Concerned with Battery life became the biggest draw back and the main reason Roan offered an extended battery to go with this option.  The unit was portable and lightning quick for its size but I just don't care for white PC's.  I prefer the black.   The touch screen had issues when close to the edge and was a topic of discussions from various uses with no real solution.  Another down side to having this much speed in a small unit was the heat build up which brought to an end a many of these units which would not boot.  Unfortunately, Roan has been dissolved so an Everun Note 2 will never materialize.
