Given a choice between something that looks good, works intuitively and
performs adequately, or something that is subtly lacking in design flair
and ease of use even though it is technically superior on paper, it was an
easy decision. I shouldn't have been surprised, I recall making the same
decision on my last PDA purchase - a choice between a Palm OS PDA or a
Windows CE PDA. Come to think of it, my most recent appliance purchase was
decided the same way - I bought a Playstation 2 (new slim version) instead
of an Xbox.
