PocketPCReviews Reviews The Asus A730
"There hasn�t been such excitement in the PocketPCReviews team for a long time while anticipating the arrival of the Asus MyPal A730 with VGA screen for a review. With the high demand for this pre-production unit (it was the only one in Australia at the time of writing) we only could have it for a few days. Not long enough to do our customary in-depth review, complete with benchmarking and comparisons. That�s why this review is in 2 installments: today the First Impressions and upon general availability here we�ll do the number crunching."
Given the small pictures, it's clearly a first take, but it's still worth a look if you're drooling over this unit.

Good review, but yes the images are too small.
I made my mind anyway, and saving for ipaq 4700. No camera! no big deal! to me

Are they gonna make a version with WiFi? Making a high-end PPC these days without WiFi is like selling a Lexus without leather and GPS navigation.

briliant! since HP gave up on us regarding updates i say the ASUS has a high probability of being my next upgrade and a step away from HP.

Agreed. What's the point of a worthless camera to add cost and weight.

Also to add, many places are banning camera phones and any small devices with camera built-in. PDA's with cameras would surely be banned as well.

You may know that treo 600 without camera has the same size and COST as treo 600 with camera.
rz3100 has no camera and has the same size as rz3415 and rz3715 too.
Those companies may consider cameraless version, but they have no interests to spend the time or money to design a new form factor for it.
