$369 is not bad  a price - but the carfeul shopper can pick up an Dell Axim PDA
for $219 runnning Mobile 2003 on x-scale processor.  PF2 is already much
stronger then 2300 on this unit IMO.

A couple of notes - the $219 price was for a reburbished unit - but still came
with full year warranty.  You have to read the fine print - some refursbished
units are coming with 2002.  Mobile 2003 is much faster a but ONLY get it if you
are also getting the lastest ROM verision A05).  Do not bother with ROM A04 at
all.  PC 2002 runs best on ROM version A03 on an Axim (as I understand it from
the various Axim forums).
