SDIO) slots, integrated Bluetooth, and it's only .61" thick and 5.1 ounces, which makes it amongst the lightest dual-slot units. The linked press release has more technical specs and pictures. Moreover, various threads have indicated that this may be the fastest iPAQ yet -- Jason's upcoming review has lots of performance numbers, so stay tuned!

Blech... Although it looks nice, I will wait a bit longer. The 2215 is missing both an audio record button and a scroll wheel/jogger switch.

And the 128 Mb RAM (apparently slated for later this year... :roll: )

I heard it was slightly faster too :wink:

SDIO WLAN? I use the Linksys WCF12 WLAN on my 3950. Does this mean that I have to get a new WLAN card for the 2210?? TIA.

The 2210 has a CF slot also. But whether Linksys will release drivers for this card under PPC2003 is as yet unknown (at least to me).

The record button, I can agree with the comment. The jog wheel......Compaq did pretty well selling the 3xxx series without any kind of jog wheel/dial.

As far as the record button, there is/are app(s) out there that give you the ability to press and hold a hardware button for a second, third, or even fourth option. I'd use that for the record button. Then again, I rarely use the record button as it is. As a matter of fact, it annoys me sometimes because it gets pressed when I don't mean to.
