A truly horrible design!
I prefer Ipaq hx4700 aside from the lack of usb-host itīs the perfect
new Newton hardware.
I mean 600Mhz 128MB ram wlan, bluetooth, sd AND cf-slots.
Want a keyboard? Use a bluetooth one(and I can get one with swedish layout)
Want to connect to your phone? Use bluetooth!
Itīs cheaper and easier to get than a Zaurus and linux is on the way for
hx4700(http//www.handhelds.org)
