    Because it was free (we got 5 of them in their switch promotion - and the HP4000 switch rocks). I'm hacking around with one, and I gave the other ones to my staff. It's not a bad little unit. The screen may not be 16-bit, but it's more than good enough for AvantGo browsing and e-book reading (which, along with Inbox sync, is all I do with it). I use the HP a decent amount during the work day.

    My Palm Vx, though, is still much handier because:

    It's half the size of the HP. Even though the HP does fit in a pocket (barely), it's a lot heavier than the Palm.
    It's faster for most tasks (except offline browsing).
    The battery life is much better (though the HP isn't as bad as I expected - I can easily get through a couple of workdays before it needs a recharge).
    I can sync the Palm with my iBook and my Linux box - not just with Windows.

    And finally:
    Palm isn't Microsoft!
