Prophet, The Pocket PC is making inroads. It will take a while before Palm is dethroned. I still believe that multimedia is an undiscovered charm and that simple B&W PIM and web clippings are overrated. It will take a while before the shine wears off of Palm and Handspring. More devices like the iPAQ and the to-be-released Casio EM-500 will help the Pocket PC platform and SanDisk. BTW, the Casio EM-500 uses MMC and is much less boxier than the Cassiopeia (which I own). Here is a list of the most popular electronics devices from shopper.com 1 Pentium III-800MHz 2 Palm V 3 Coolpix 990 4 Palm Vx 5 iPaq H3650 6 AMD K7-800MHz 7 PlexWriter (32X/8X/4X) 8 Palm IIIe 9 AMD K6 2-500MHz 10 Olympus C-3030 Zoom The iPAQ is a sleek and sexy device. Did you buy the CF expansion module? How bulky does the device get with it? Aus

The iPAQ is a very cool machine, read the full review here: the-gadgeteer.com Pocket PC Comparison the-gadgeteer.com However the battery life is 12 hours, that's better than the others listed above, but the Palm and Visor OS and hardware is energy efficient. Expansion packs are like the ones for the Palm, they attach to the unit making it larger, Visor on the other hand has perfected the idea on expansion. Before you say it will replace the Palm, read this: Message 14398250 The Handspring Visor, made by the people who invented the Palm, in my opinion, will be the dominate player in the market, PERIOD! PS I'm going out today to buy a 48MB CF Card for my Cannon S100 ELPH, what a sweet little thing:http://www.powershot.com/powershot2/s100/index.html
