Cowon also manufactures a Windows CE pocket PC wireless version which I also decided against. <BR/><BR/>The two Ipaqs you mention have a puny internal memory -the SD card slot does not make up for this. <BR/><BR/>The more advanced model is apparently not powerful enough to play some video files smoothly (Amazon reviews).<BR/><BR/>The Cowon O2 is a great media player. The company has a good reputation with the audiophile crowd. The O2 can't connect to the Internet but I consider this a plus.reinekehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07698980784691138039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818332935611072344.post-35056601714533983132009-02-14T18:43:00.000-08:002009-02-14T18:43:00.000-08:00Have you looked into PDA's? Look at the HP Ipaq 111 and 211. If you can live with the Windows headaches they will probably give you much of what you want. If you'd consider used, Dell Axims (no longer made) can offer a support community through forums.Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18394429999461229736noreply@blogger.com
