Pros:

Incredible screen.
Very good battery life.
Fits with existing Compaq iPAQ sleeves.
BlueTooth.

Cons:

Non-removable battery.
PPC2002 is written for ARM4, not ARM5 (which is what the X-Scale 400MHz CPU is), so in a lot of cases, it's almost slower than the 206MHz StrongARM.

Ah. Forgot about price. That's the biggest problem.

The new iPAQ 5000 is even higher, nearly $1K...
