Seems like the Zaurus is no longer available from hsn.com...sigh...now I have to wait till I get back in NYC on monday to get mine from the campus package room...hope you all enjoy!

Go to HSN.com.
Search for model number # 694-341.

Coupon for 15 percent off can be found on a .COM website that has lots of CRAZY COOL DEALS. "Cough"

Zaurus should come out to about 170 plus 9 dollars shipping. Enjoy :).

Cheapest I found for a refurb on Pricegrabber was 280 shipped (for me at least). Cheapest for a new one was $330. On ebay they still consistently go for around $300, so this def. qualifies as a deal for me and (hopefully) some of you.

You're too sleepy to resist. Its 3:00am. It's running linux. You're a geek.
Give up.

True, but who wants to wait for rebates. If it were any other PDA it would be no contest. And you've gotta admit, that keyboard is nice... Of course, the Axim rocks too. I'd better go to sleep before HSN hires me.

true, i googled for some reviews and found a pretty informative site. link

Says listening to MP3's (which I'd imagine I'd do sometimes), the battery would only last about an hour with the screen on.

I wonder how long it would last if I was playing solitare or something.

Even according to that link, it lasts only an hour with mp3s playing and the frontlight on it's highest setting. On this site it says that you can get 3hrs just playing mp3s, not bad for any of the current crop of PDAs.

Okay so I havent ordered one yet but the CC info is in and I almost pressed process like 4 times.

Edit Done $178.03

Anything I can turn around on eBay for a profit is worth trying. Probably wont sell it though.

Hopefully eBay won't have an influx of these, driving the price down.

I'll use it a few days and see if my life really requires a PDA.

I made the plunge too. $181.03 after express shipping and 15% discount. This is DAMN cheap for this PDA. I was considering an Axim, but Dell is making sure that no coupons apply to them and I don't think we'll see the price drop for a while...and of course the geek in me wanted a linux palm. I just know there's gotta be SO much more flexability with a linux based palm than there is with Windows CE or Palm OS, not to mention efficient use of resources.

I'm giving this Palm m105 I've been using to my fiance. *grin*

For any of ya'll who were wondering, as I was, what vladgur is referring to, here's the details:

Wave2Net IEEE 802.11b Wireless CompactFlash Card
$99.99
-$40 IR
-----------
$59.99
-$30 MIR
-----------
$29.99

They show sold out on the website. I'm hoping this means they are only sold out "online" and I might be able to get one in the store around the corner.

Anybody know what the maximum size storage media that can be used with the Zaurus is? I've been searching the internet and I can't find any technical specifications that list such details. If I get a 512MB CF or SD card, will it work with this PDA? Is there a max size on either media type?
