Low price
Man, that's cheap! $275 and no shipping for a new PPC. Tempting.

With the Dell coming out in 17 days for $199, I'd probably wait.
That isn't to say that the Dell will be a better deal (all reports seem to indicate the Viewsonic has a better screen for example) but more of a "with it that close why not at least check out the Dell first".

The dell is .2 inches thicker and 2.4 ounces heavier. It also looks rather bulky. I'll pass unless Dell has some uber coupon deals on it

same yesterday as it was tomorrow.
Is there a good user/hands-on opinion yet?

Do you have the measurements for the Viewsonic V35? Height/Width/Depth? I can't seem to find the measurements anywhere. Thanks.

Keep in mind, we don't know what the specs of the Dell are yet. When those slides leaked to PDAFrance, Dell's official word was that they were legit but the specs of the device are not entirely accurate.
All the more reason to wait.

If that is true, maybe that is because Dell has a dual slot and V35 hasn't

Don't know the exact specs but a friend played with one and said it was PalmV sized.

Mitac
I read somewhere that it's made by Mitac. There's PDF spec sheets available on their models at:
http://www.mitac.com/micweb/products/main.htm
The 206DDS looks most similar to the specs of the Viewsonic and the size specs of that unit are, 114.1mm(H)/73mm(W)/and an incredible 10.3mm deep. If this is the case I really hope that the Dell release will drop the prices down on the Viewsonic even further, that would be sweet. But I'm almost tempted to wait for the new HP 1900, apparently they're touting it as the slimmest new model as well. This is all getting quite exciting, but hopefully they'll all be out sooner rather than later so I can finally get my hands on one of these puppies after the reviews start pouring in.
Is anyone planning on a review for the Viewsonic?
One last question is that when MS releases the next version of their OS for Pocket PC next year will it be a free upgrade for users of PPC2002? Also are they going to update their hardware requirements? I'd hate for something I buy to be outmoded within six months. At the same time I find myself not wanting to wait that long to buy a unit even though it will mean that it's good for a couple of years. Any ideas?
