Less DPI IS a fact right?
And although yes I guess personal preference is the reason beyond reasons and nobody can argument, nevertheless can you tell me why would someone (erm, you) prefer a 4" screen than a 3.6" screen on a PDA? (the key phrase is "on a PDA")

But you bring up a great point, for the videos you play, you get great playback. But this is also highly dependent on the video bitrate you're using. I do actually have a number of short videos that are encoded at around 1300-1500Kbps (music videos), 30fps (not 24), w/ some videos that require smooth-resizing for full-screen playback (GPU intensive).

No, seems to imply that it came cheap to them, they won't bother optimising the OS for the GPU or anything, nor pressure any developer in fact use it (to much trouble for a device that the company themselves will have killed in six months - like they do for years).
1.3-1.5Mbps are fine on LOOX 720, in fact the guy in the article I linked above, mentions 1.8 is fine on LOOX 720. If this ISN'T enough, then ok I don't know what is. I understand that having a GPU is good but I would EASILY trade it for 128MB RAM.

No I read you all right, it's just that 64MB on the best-of-the-best 2005 device of the biggest PDA vendor, is NOT a minus, it's more of a killer.
Can you really tell me how would I even own one when as I said I have 58MB free on my 720? This means -6MB, or best case scenario: no available RAM to run anything. Or I had to limit my installation habbits (word "limit" and phrase "best-of-the-best of the biggest PDA vendor" doesn't go together in my mind... I wonder how they fit on yours)

Indeed but when I see this company going SO well with PDA, when their PDA (aside from the personal preference you keep mentioning) are generally mediocre AND expensive for their features (AND don't get me started with the company support which I know first hand), it's Deja Vu all over again, like when I was helplessly watching Wintel rulling the world over MUCH better platforms 15 years ago. It's a pity when companies that could REALLY GIVE to this competition, tomorrow go out of this market just because of the sheer mass of HP (happened before, will happen again) and nothing to do with quality and features.
It's like the Matrix or something.
Anyway "let's all get along".
