    Anyone who uses this PDA? What are the advantages compared to other PDA's?
    I want a PDA for quite some time now, mainly to check my e-mail everywhere I go.

    I know this is actually not the right place to ask, but I prefer to ask ASUS pro's. :D

    Have been selling that model for months now and I've been using one since October.... If you can read, you can see it's advantages......... but what you can't see are it's performance numbers which is actually where I know a lot.... We've been importing Asus' PPC's since 2002... this is their 7th model and it's really a mix of all those that came before it... plus some.

    Basically for this model Asus could case less if you buy it as a pocket pc..... they are going after the MP3 players and the GPS units, like garmin.....

    For $600 you get a high performance pocket pc which in terms of gaming is the best you're going to get on a pocket pc --- but forget about that for a moment....

    Built-in GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth....... As a package, it's coming with the latest maps and software from DestinAtor (a company in which I actually tested the software out for asus for a year)... $150 software..... they include a 256mb SD card to store the maps on and it comes with a complete car kit....... Basically it's ready to go out of the box....... You'll be hard pressed to find another unit with close to the features and the only other ones out there SUCK in terms of game performance...... so it's basically the best of it's kind.

    .... team that up with the fact that a garmin gps which doesn't even have the level of software that this goes - goes for at least $600... and this does so much more.
