An rw6100 with a Touchpad? Cool!

And no, I wouldn't treat this as a PSP replacement, but it's still cool nonetheless. ;)

A joypad like that would be great for the 4700.

WTF?
why couldn't they just have made that the primary pad/button layout?
It in no way would have inhibited anyone who only wanted to use it for business.
Hell, why doesn't anyone layout the pad/buttons to appeal to gamers?

Tell me again why HP didn't release this ppcphone here? :roll:

h-ll, why doesn't anyone layout the pad/buttons to appeal to gamers?

Because "PDA" is "Personal Digital Assistant" and not "Gameboy"? :wink:

Detailed review on the gamepad. Written in Korean as well, but has lots of pictures. The gamepad is currently compatible with HP rw6100 only.

I am currently using USB gamepad on my Loox 720 (supports USB host), and it works wonders. I double my score easiy. With NES emulators, my loox becomes super game machine. It is totally awesome. The only problem I see here is that you can only play the game in portrait mode. If the cable is long enough, the landscape mode should be better.

Perhaps I'm roaming here, but why does this site keep trying to compare Pocket PCs with the PSP?

Perhaps someone's suffering from PSenvy? ;-)

I guess PocketPCs and PSP are similar: they're often overhyped before release, and end up mediocre :P

Perhaps the site is simply stating the obvious, you can do everything and more with a pocket pc that you can with a psp. Most people here don't get offended by the comparison and are just as likely to have a psp or ipod for that matter. But if you only want to carry or own one central device, a pocket pc is definitely something to consider. Of course this is just my opinion.

You got the right idea. I can't speak for the others, but personally, I'd be one of the last souls on earth that would (1) consider getting a PSP (although I'll re-evaluate that statement in a few months time :P), and (2) see a PSP as a Pocket PC replacement, which is why I thought I'd add a bit of a twist to my initial post about considering the rw6100+TP as a replacement to a PSP (because the irony is, they're not even close). There's so much hype surrounding this palindromic sequence of letters - and I'm glad I haven't succumbed to its will. Bottom line = a PDA is a PDA, and a PSP will always be a PSP. No PSenvy from me. ;)
