Right now every manufacturer makes their top of the line with both CF and SD slots and even HP has 2 lines and 4 models, Dell has 3, FSC has 3 too (710, 718 and 720), Fujitsu has 2, Toshiba has 1 (e830), etc. That's at least 13 devices, or almost 3 times as many!!! not less.

That doesn't prove anything imo. In fact I find the whole CF vs integration argument fairly amusing. Why are so many users here opposed to geater functionality integration into handhelds here? Isn't this what many WM users found soo annoying and wrong about PalmOne devices? :? Or is the criticism here precisely because it is PalmOne that is trying to innovate for once? :roll:
Look, there's fairly strong rumors that Dell's working on a next gen WM05 Axim with integrated HD. I willing to bet it won't have CF slot...
