buy buy buy :devil:
It sure looks like a decent PPC. The built-in WLAN is particularly attractive. The form factor too, is excellent. Alternatively, you can consider the iPAQ 3970 if you don't mind the size. UOB is offering it at $900 in 9 installments of $100 if you buy from Protocol.

Xscale processor were designed to run best on CE.net, though it under-perform in PPC2002. :gbounce:

I think it's the other way round... CE.net is designed to run best on xscale.. PC2002 is optimised for SA1110 Arm4 core if i still remember correctly, while Xscale core is Arm5... that's why performance is not as good as SA1110.
Yup, your're right on.
But the problem is that when will PC2002 be optimsed for Arm5?
If I didn't remember wrongly (reading from the net), this won't be anytime soon, as the PPC programmers would have to re-design the coding for ARM5, and it will not be backward compatible with ARM4. So I don't think they are going to re-code just for a small group of xscale users.... (true?)
So it seems that those xscale people would have to run underpowered PPCs for now...
And PS: Just a note for those that are getting under the OUB promotion, go get it quick.
This was what my friend's experience was:
He went to the shop (and he said that the shop was kinda run-down...)
Paid, and he was put on a waiting list...
Stocks will come, but the salesperson isn't sure on when will they arrive......
it wont!
Microsoft has clearly stated that it wouldnt be officially supported ... so looxers like me will have to wait for .NET ... sigh!
M$ does it again!

Hey, I think Tungten T is a good looking PDA!
But from threads @ SPUG.net, some of them are having problems with the screen having dust on them (most probably entered thru the headphone jacks), and the lack of a MP3 decoder.
And I think they will have their own market of users, especially on those who are already hooked onto the Palm platform.
Just my 0.000000000002 cents.
I think M$ is trying to force people to adopt rather than encourage people to use .NET...
Anyway, after reading this, I'm personally more swayed to PPC now...
(About Palm's lack of features)

It is a nice device. Style and design are always the main attraction for Palm devices. Tungsten does have DSP to do MP3 decoding but unfortunately the software isnt ready.
