Will the 5400 retain existing sleeve compatibility?
Oh, and it's PPC 2002, right?

In the future, I hope that manufacturers allow consumers to "custom order" their Pocket PCs.. like how you can build your own Dell laptop. There are some integrated features that I want (Bluetooth), and some I don't care for (802.11b). And some people might more RAM, and some might not need as much.

It is quite a bit easier to build a PC then a Pocket PC because of the simple expansion systems. In a way that is what a CF or SD card slot is for...you to customize your device. I hope the HP will release many products at once with different specs so users will have a choice and will almost be able to buy a "custom" device.
...PPC Tech's are always there for your RAM upgrades!!

Mmmm, it is just about the same size as a 3900....which I don't consider to be a brick really....but brickness is relative.

Though in this case the manual only confirms minimum specs for the series. There still could be models with more memory. Though I do agree, the manuals tend have the most information.

I don't know, less then 3/4 of an inch just doesn't seem all that thick. It always seems to fit fine in my front pocket. I think it is more the width of the product that varies this then the thickness since few devices exceed the thickness of an iPAQ or Jornada. The iPAQ's sleek design makes it fit better in my pocket then say a Toshiba e550G. (If you or anyone wants to continue a size discussion PM or email me...or run into me on campus...)
Anyways, back to the 5400....these specs of the base model just don't get me that exceited. I hope the price is right on this device. I would assume from the manual the finger print scanner will be on all 5400's (since it doesn't say optional). That would be one of the things that actually does get me excited about this. It could really change how we protect our data in our Pocket PC's, especially if it appears in a wide range of iPAQ products.

My gawd man, what kind of JEANS do you wear?!? 8O
Trying to imagine stuffing my huuge wallet (remember George's wallet in Seinfeld?), pens/pencils, cellphone, iPAQ, compact digicam, headphones, BT headset, and my big ol' keyring (with Cruzer, alarm fob, LED flashlight, 6+ keys -- had to move swiss army knife, laser pointer, various USB dongles, and other stuff to a second keyring).. all in one of my front jeans pockets. And how about when I have to bring my portable HDD too (Archos MiniHD or Jukebox Multimedia, or Addonics Pocket ExDrive), huh? Ugh, the crunching pain just thinking it...
There's like (in order of size) my jeans, regular twill/dress pants, Docker Mobile Pants, then my huge cargo pants. The less space, the more you have to prioritize.
