Vital Source produces DVDs for mainly medical and dental textbooks. Sadly, their website is lacking in detail.
From what I recall students get about two DVDs per academic year, one at the start and one in the middle. A freely available properiatery reader program and license key is required to view the content. OS requirements are 2000, XP, OS 9 or OS X.
Vital Source has secured the copyright to many many textbooks. Schools can also submit their own content to be included on the DVD, such as lab manuals, student orientation guides, etc. Hyperlinks can also refer back to the schools website. I can't recall which schools use these DVDs but there are a few. I believe New Jersey Dental School uses them.

I have one of the cases made by Rhodiana. They're pretty good, the quality of the case and belt clip are high. Pretty much the only downside is that you can't sync with the Visor in the case. That, and the fact that removing the Visor from the case is a bit of a chore. Oh, and they're a little expensive too, but when you consider the value of what it's protecting...
There are reviews out there. Read them and become enlightened.

Ditto that. Except I washed mine twice.
I believe Fido is coming out with a special unlimited GPRS package specifically for the Hiptop before the end of January.
I heard firmware updates are coming too.
