ViewSonic's V36 Reviewed By PDA Buyer's Guide
"The V36 represents ViewSonic's second mass market Pocket PC effort since the V35 came out late last year (the V37 was not sold retail, rather it was bundled with a $1,000+ Microsoft software development package). While the V36 doesn't differentiate itself that much from other Pocket PCs in many respects, it does add one important feature: an integrated VGA digital camera. While the Palm Zire 71 and several Sony Cli� Palm OS PDAs have digicams, this is the first Pocket PC (without a phone) to offer a digicam."
Lisa has a good review of the V36, a device that's perhaps the best Pocket PC counterpoint to the Zire 71. She's also fairly impressed by the camera's quality. I don't think the V36 has enough features for me, but I could see it appealing to family members who don't carry a camera around with them.

The Genio e550C had a built in digital camera but then again, it was never released outside of Japan.
Apparantly, there's a e550CT as well.

Yes, it is sold via retail (at least Amazon.com).

Hmm... you might want to let Lisa know. 
Paul: I believe neither are available in the US, at least yet.

Ok.
I've done a great deal of searching but it seems I can't get a definitive answer on this...
Does the V36 have 57 MB or 36 MB of useable RAM?
