HP, Lotus Codevelop Palmtop With 1-2-3

Last week officials from Hewlett-Packard Co. and Lotus Development Corp.
quietly showed an 11-ounce palmtop computer.  The 8088-based computer,
bundled with a bare-bones version of 1-2-3, Release 2.2, comes with 512K
standard, expandable to 1 megabyte, and a 16-line-by-40-character
screen.  "The software is basically hardwired into ROM.  And when you
use it you don't have to hit 'cd backslash'--you just hit a button and
[1-2-3] is there," said one analyst.  It is expected to ship this spring
with a list price of $699, sources said.
