Advantage Comments

Matt, great preview of the new Advantage. I love my 7501, but I wish it were thinner and lighter. Not that it's huge, especially compared to a UMPC, but it's not easy to put into your pants pocket. It weighs 12.6 oz and it's .63" thick. By comparison the Dell Axim x51v weighs 6 oz and is .47" thick. If they could get the thickness to .5" and the weight to, say, 9 oz, that would help.

I wish it utilized SDHC instead of miniSDHC. I wish it had two SDHC slots. Memory is king.

I'm waiting for someone to come up with a way for a user to upgrade the hard-drive. I want to add a hard-drive that's, say, 80GB.

I personally think the keyboard is not usable. It's too wide for thumb-typing and too narrow for conventional typing. They need a keyboard that's like the old, Psion. It needs to be far wider. If they can't do that, then they should make a kb like my wife's Blackberry Curve. That one is perfect for thumb typing. I use ZoomBoard, which is quite good, so my kb stays in the desk drawer.

Thanks again for your preview.
Steve Laser
