    If price isn't an issue, hold off until the Zaurus 6000 comes out. It'll have more memory and a higher resolution screen. It'll probably cost a pretty penny though.

    If cost is an issue, Amazon's selling 5600s for less than 300 now. Interestingly, it's been rumored since January that some of the 5600s from Amazon have the PXA255 CPU which is faster than the PXA250 which originally came installed in the 5600. However, I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and it had the PXA250.

    Another thing to note is that Sharp's developer site has been down for at least a few weeks now. It's not clear when it'll come back up.
