I would save it unless I needed something. At the moment, I don't need anything.

I got mine for about $345 shipped. The ability to hook it up to a TV via RCA is one of the coolest features IMO... Also my digicam uses compact flash cards and the Gmini has a compact flash drive built in so I can transfer all my pics on the fly and free up space on my camera.

the rca output is pretty nifty...i was just wishing my ipaq had that the other day...it doesnt say anything about sd support...does it have a sd slot? i'd hafta replace my 1gig sd card if not...

If it has a headphone jack, it can have RCA out

In my case, it would be the video card, since thats the next upgrade that I want. (my 9700 pro is starting to age). Though i would be tempted to buy a new Mobo + CPU instead and hold off a little while longer on the Vid card)
