The device includes everything the pocket PC user would want: a high quality camera (1.3 Mega Pixel), Bluetooth and WiFi communications, a strong processor, lots of memory space, two expansion slots, and for dessert – support for USB devices such as Disc-On-Key etc. In short – a dream come true. The developers put together all these excellent features, added a great screen and good multimedia capabilities, and packed it all in a friendly combo, leaving little to be desired."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/slots.jpg" /> <br /><br />It's always an interesting way to start a review by summarising your conclusions. It's kind of like giving the end of a novel away. Not surprisingly, Tomer Eisner from Handystore rather likes the LOOX 720. He's put together a decent medium-sized review with over 30 photos and screenshots and the Hebrew version is a available <a href="http://www.handystore.co.il/fs720.htm">here.</a> Whatever you think about the LOOX 720, the huge scary photo of the sleeping cat in the sink is certainly worth a look. ;-)

thats a really nice review. It should have included his SPBench marks etc. And he is soo right when he says that it would take a huge market share.

Well, would and should are two differnt things. Lets see if FS puts the required marketing effort behind it........

Hmmm ... market share depends a lot on price. I didn't see one. Anybody know?

Uk price is 400 GBP but it's a new device so I expect it to go down by a bit. Or at least I hope!
