I don't agree with that characterization of the 3715, though it may be what HP thinks. I see it more like a Media Center PC which is XP plus media enhancements. The 3715 is a fully equipped PPC, PLUS it has significant media capabilities including the camera, Nevo remote control and HPs media commander that lets you easily stream content to your PPC, or control your Media PC over WiFi. To think that folks are not cognizent of or concerned with the business functionality of the 3715, just because they opted for the addition of the media capabilities would be short sighted of HP. Note that at the time, your HP choice was the 4155 and 2215, both on their way out, or the 4700 or 3000 series. The 2700 hadn't come out at that time, the 4700 was pricy, large, and sported that odd touch panel, and the 3700 was a great device with numerous bonuses.
I'm going to be mildly miffed if my 3715 isn't offerred an upgrade, but I will take solace in the fact that my PPCTechs upgraded X50v will.
Now when I find out Motorola is not upgrading my MPX220 you might see some flames :evil:
