Tim: sounds from the review article that the 66 MHz Dragonball has enough horsepower to make this Sony Clie perform everything well. Until the ARM/Palm OS based PDA's debut, we won't know how battery life stacks up vs the Dragonball. Certainly from what I've read, the ARM based Pocket PC's are poor on battery life compared with the current Palm OS based Dragonball PDA's. Maybe the high powered color screens on the Pocket PC's have something to do with that as well, though that doesn't seem to affect the Sony's too much. Like you, I may just wait and see what the Palm OS/ARM combo looks like. Plus I'm still waiting for a PDA with an OLED screen and one of those nifty keyboards I like... David T.
