Clicking on the "Detailed specifications" link on that page gives me an
error.

I think that may make sense. I would love to see a device like the
Sprint PPC-6700 (one of many rebranded HTC landscape qwerty slide
keyboard phones) with a VGA screen, USB host and VGA out. Probably could
be done at 8-10oz, could be used stand alone or as a wearable core (and
I would like the ability to 'unplug' the wearable and still be able to
use it). I did see a bluetooth mouse that was sold with drivers to work
with the phone. The GSM versions of that HTC device already have groups
getting Linux running on them instead of Pocket PC. Would the lack of
compact flash be a big deal if it had USB hosting and bluetooth and
WIFI?
