I've read quite a few posts on this topic [130 vs 2k] and I agree with
everyone entirely.
The 2x00 series are smoking hot, capable and expandable, and beat the
130 up and down in all respects.
A 130 is a PDA and no more. A

Agreed. But I often wish Apple hadn't fattened the form factor to create
the whole_lot_more part. Too bad apple couldn't have offered stripped
down strongArm newts with the previous generation b&w backlit screens
and only one PC slot [even cheaper if they used the original 100 [!!!]
or 130 bodies].
So the point is that for me size is an issue [shut up freud] and when my
sister comes to visit with the 120 I gave her, I am pleased to fondly
pick it up, flip back the old-school lid, and feel it fit perfectly in
my hand.
