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 Clié Palm OS PDAs have digicams, this is the first Pocket PC (without a phone) to offer a digicam."<br /><br />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.
