John, I hope they sell a couple million color iPAQ's this year. I am also waiting to see the next wave of high end digital cameras. The feature I am looking for is the movie mode that would allow 15 to 30 second video clips with sound. Sony and Olympus have promoted this successfully. Faced with the purchase of both a digital camera and/or a digital video camera one could imagine buying a single device with both features. Most digital video cameras have low resolution still frame capability. Digital cameras tend to have slower frame rates, less image stabilization capability, limited acquisition times and variable sound quality. A hybrid device would be quite portable and quite appealing. I think it would be fascinating to acquire high quality stills plus reasonably sized video clips on one device. And to accomplish this a 128MB plus CompactFlash card seems ideal. Imagine popping the card out and playing your vacation videos on your handheld or laptop or iPAQ. Imagine e-mailing a video clip to family as an attachment. I hope we see some new product releases that play on this theme. Looking for anything that will consume some of SanDisk's stagnant inventory at this stage. Aus@probably_not_a_killer_app_but_who's_complaining.com
