The device looks very nice and the host of features is certainly impressive, but I am not in the market for a multimedia device (I am not interested in either audio or video streaming). I need a PDA for PIM functions and add-ons in the form of databases. What is disturbing to me about this unit is that the battery life appears to be little different from that of the T3 and inferior to that of the T5. This appears to be due to the constant activation of the new drive - and no one seems to understand why it gets activated as much as it does. And I don't understand why it does not have either a VGA screen (my wife's new HP has one and it is beautiful and very readable in sunlight) or a removable battery (which my wife's HP also has). In any case, I will not even consider a purchase until I see one in person. The Palm sites are today full of comments and even some reviews.
