XDA Flame is for instane, much better multimedia device than this.

I largely agree with you, though you have to remember that most of today's devices are marketed toward general consumers, not power users such as ourselves. To an average Joe, Wi-Fi, FM, audio enhancements, etc. are all very enticing. Yes, it'll play music. It'll preview pictures. It'll play video - to an extent. Media-oriented enough for most? Probably. Media-oriented enough for us? Nope.  |
I have to disagree. It's joe average that will be the most dissapointed by buying something like this. We power users know what we want and what specifications we need so such a device is not an option for us, but "ordinary" users don't. Imagine someone buying this thinking it can be used like iPod and then realizing that while it can play music and display pictures, he can only put few tracks there and couple of pictures before it runs out of memory, and that the CPU barely handles playing music.
Calling this media oriented device in 2006 is basically lying. It's no more media oriented than any other WM/Pocket PC device ever produced and that includes old Casio E-10x Palm Sized devices from 1999.
