I'm tempted to buy one to replace my 3850 and cf+ pack which has a buggered external battery that only lasts about 45mins :devilboy:

With the cf reader its too big and too slow to be useful, epecially while surfing via wireless.

Various reports are floating around at Brighthand but they all indicate very very good battery life. One person in particular reported playing PocketSNES, then watching part of the Animatrix and doing other things for about an hour and his PPC showing 89 percent battery life left. Many other reports indicate such battery lifes. Very Impressive, check it out for yourself at the brighthand hp 2200 series forum.

No landscape mode.
Battery life using an SMC type II CF card has been very good. I surfed for an hour and had 75% remaining.

Why don't we just give them the link instead? Excellent, excellent pictures. Top notch for getting an idea of size.

I was just in the Fry's Electronics in Canoga Park and saw that they had one box left. Played around with the demo unit for a few minutes and can confirm that it does feel zippier (at least in comparison to my 38xx). It only felt slightly larger than the 19xx and it still felt competitively sized against the Viewsonic V35. I was SOOOO tempted to grab that last box, but at this time it wouldn't be able to supplant my 38xx b/c of PMVP compatibility (I spend a lot of time on airplanes).

I've been waiting patiently for a new PPC that meets all my reqs for a new device (while holding onto the 38xx), this unit looks like the unit I've been looking for. If the PMVP folks release a stable version of PMVP that works with PPC2k3, I'm there.

Is the port underneath the same as the 38,39 and 5450 series?

I've got a TT Tech iPAQ 3800 Snap'N'Type Keyboard, and a set of serial and USB sync cables I'm guessing they're not going to fit.

All I need to know now is when will it be avaliable in the UK.

I've heard a number of reports saying keyboards will work - the only problem is the shape of the devices are different on the bottom so if the keyboard depends on cradling a device shaped like the 38/39/5450 then it just won't fit.

Thats what I thought, the keyboards dock looks identical to a cradle with the moving supports that are used if there isn't an expansion pack, or slip down if there is a pack installed.

Oh well, didn't like the keyboad much anyway, might buy the 38/39/54 folding keyboard instead.

Expansys now have it expected in 5 days, for £364.25 inc VAT :evil:, thats way too much, I think i'll wait till it drops a bit.
