I really hated the wireless setup for the Dell pda. ( the addition of the
Odyssey client further added to my confusion ). while the x51 had full vga
resolution web browsing was still a pain - battery life was mediocre

I would like a UMPC preferably either the ASUS or Sony flash drive models
but they're still a bit pricey for their value for me. That's why I settled
for the Nokia N800 - 800 x 480 resolution, wireless, 2 SD slots, Bluetooth,
great battery life, and a Linux OS with opensource software available at -
