Its a DECENT price for the 1910, considering its lack of features compared to the 1940. Costco has the 1910 for $229.00 currently.

It's always tough to beat Costco, that's for sure. :wink:

5555 is awesome
I have had mine for a couple days now and am enjoying it immensely. I am sure some little bugs my crop up, but so far I have seen no biggies. It seems pretty fast except when powering it up. Seems like it takes a extra second or so for the Today screen to become visible but it's not a problem. Start menu seems to take a bit, but I wonder if that's just an animation delay or something? Sometimes I wish you can turn some of these features off like you can on a desktop. Anyway, the device IS faster than my e740 so I am not complaining about these niggly things! 
Oh and both the OS picture viewer and HP's picture viewer (similar to the 5400's viewer) are on the rom image. Amazingly enough, there does not seem to be any new Themes on the rom. Just the standard theme they have been using since last October or so (that bliss theme). Where's spiral? I got to go steal it off of a 2215!

Wonder when the 1930 will be out? I know some that have zip interest in bluetooth.

I have NEVER seen better prices on the internet. Sure, if you buy something on ebay thats REALLY old you can (unless it's an antique). Usually the prices I do see that sound like a good deal are not a good deal by the time you add insurance and shipping charges. You don't pay for insurance on new Pocket PC's you order? Glad I ain't you! I always pay insurance on things like these. Can never be too careful and brown has a rough time with delicate electronics!

For those that are in California, Fry's has both the 1940 and the 5550 in stock. (At least in their store in Costa Mesa.) Of course all things being equal, I aways would support companies like Mobile Planet since they support our "community". However, I thought I'll let people know about other sources.

Are there benchmarks anywhere that compare the performance of all 3 new Ipaqs? I'm quite curious to see how they perform.

(These scores are pretty good indicators for the device in total. If Quake was good enough for the PC market to benchmark on, no reason it's not good enough for the PPC. All scores are taken from demo1, portrait mode, default settings, for those who are wondeirng.)
