They tested the version without wifi, however wifi is available on this device, as well as dual card slots and VGA resolution. The limits of the camera, poor battery life, and rather expensive price tag may keep some away, however if you're looking for a lightweight VGA PPC with bluetooth, this may be the device for you.

the guy at pocketnow makes good reviews, but there is one funny point. he always compares the units with old axim x5. this unit is very big thus, when any device is compared to x5, there is no way that device will seem to be big

I am considering this as my next PPC, it has what I want, VGA, 128MB (ish), small size, USB host maybe, wifi, bluetooth, I'm not bothered about the camera. I would like better run time though.

The plastic back doesn't sound very good so he's an idea, why don't PPC Techs make a metal back with sides like the 2210.
