I have some question about the X50

[Vasant56]

I heard it's the next pocket pc coming out, and I just have a few questions:

How does it's size compare to the old Ipaq 1940?

What kind of specs will it have?

Will I be able to get one for ~$300

Will it be out before Oct. 15?


Thanks, I haven't been able to find any info anywhere.
