Compaq iPaq Handheld -
I just got mine today. I actually paid retail, but I've had my order in since they were announced. It has a beautiful screen, very sleek form factor that's nicer to hold than my Palm V or my other WinCE machines, and it seems quite usable (caveat: I haven't really put it to the test).

First impression is, I love it! Now, if only I could get the expansion cradle for PCMCIA cards that I have on order. As Sandeep mentioned, I don't think the iPaq demand will have an immediate or direct impact on Microsoft's bottom line, but in the long term, I believe it is a very positive sign that Microsoft (and Compaq in this case) is zeroing in on the sweet spot for handhelds.
