That said, I know that this device will be popular given its form factor and integrated GPS. It's just a shame that these come at the expense of WiFi and, more importantly, 3G."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20071123-tracy%26matt_526_main.jpg" /><br /><br />That conclusion just about says it all - slow processor, no wifi, no 3G, and some bugs in the software, make the P526 a strictly entry-level device (albeit with GPS). I can't help thinking that it would have made better sense to use the Standard OS, rather than the Professional version, with the design this device has.
