Seriously, who would pay $800.00 for a PDA when you can buy a loaded laptop for that much? So what if it has a 2 megapixel camera? I don't get it.
 
the bad part is the marginal improvement on their lower end products. many of palms devices still only have 2mb. its absurd.

It's more of a question of if you had the spare cash, would you buy it? I don't have the cash, but if I did, I would 🙁

I wouldn't.

I've found that multifunction machines are usually more expensive than buying the components separately, and in addition they are usually of inferior quality. I'd be willing to bet this thing goes the way of the Sony Glasstron.
 
It has the specs of low-end Pocket PC PDA (other then camera) at almost triple the price. I would never buy it, even if I had spare cash. Now RossMAN on the other hand......

When you have the money, you prolly wouldn't care what the specs are. Getting cause "It's a Sony". 🙂

Oh no!!! :Q You bought one?!!!

 
I don't know if I'd buy one over a lappie or something, but I gotta say that they are really nice...a friend got the top-of-the-line model for Christmas, and it's so much fun. I have a e310, which I think is pretty decent, but the Sony was still leaps and bounds higher, in some regards.

Ah well.
