Its hardware is comparable to that of the Palm Vx. Thin, rechargable and with an enhanced display. I'm salivating already."

    160x160 screen, 8MBs RAM, bigger than a Vx.
    Runs an OS that looks like a clone of PalmOS but without the ability to run palm apps. Sure it's open source. But do you really need that in a PDA?
    Only syncs with Win (even palm syncs with Mac and Win).

    Why even bother? These people seem to be showing even less innovation than Palm.
    I just cant see a resaon why anyone (except a small minorty) would want this. They could have atleast had a sceen like the Handera 330.
    *sigh*
