    I want one...I have the 5000D, which completely rocks, but could use a LOT more flash for installing apps. Plus, with double the MHz on the processor, it would make playing MP3s/Video less painful. I wish the site wasn't /.'ed so quickly so I could actually read about it. Anyone wanna buy my 5000d?
