From what I have heard, this is the by far the fastest Pocket PC yet in video performance. Several fold increase over the 221x device I am told and an excellent platform for gaming.

I still want the XDA II. I'm tired of carrying both a cell and PDA. I want something with more than 64 MB too.

Sounds good to me
Thin, light, Compact Flash, and the fastest graphics performance available! As a game developer, I'd love one of these, if I wasn't obsessing over a Smartphone instead.

There is a WiFi version of this device as well from what I understand. I am not sure of a combo WiFi/BT device though.

Why can't they make a flip cover at least optional? This thing would be perfectly comfortable in your jeans pocket if it didn't have to balloon when you put it in a case.
If it�s not small it stays home.
If it's not comfortable in my jeans pocket it won't be there and I won't use it unless I carry it in a bag, coat or big clown pants. In which case why not get something a little bigger w/ more features.
