Warm: Compaq Aero 8000 10" SVGA H/PC $239.99 plus s/h

[Siamskunk]

I'd call this a warm deal at most but figure this might be a good buy for those that need PDA on the road with wider screen than regular PDA.
Having many expansion slots is a plus.....but extra softwares maybe harder to find than newer PDA like Palm or Pocket PC.
If you need to use Spreadsheet, Word.....etc, this thing would get the job done much faster than ordinary PDA due to a wider screen and bigger keyboard.

Available at MP Superstore (yes....MSN Holiday Reward participating store).

Direct Link

I personally have no shopping experience with MP.com so I can't give a comment on this.

Anyone cares to give some input about this store?[

That's a good deal for what they are. I like the wider screen, and the expansion ports. It will be easy to add memory and wireless card and browse internet, but you won't find much software to run on a HPC. I think HP makes one with a 206MHz StrongArm that the Ipaq uses.
