just got one, love it, but needs an external mouse to be usefull.

next step, hack it. convert it to touch screen and add more storage (16-32gb should be about right)

theres a linux version of megatune isnt there?

Really tempted by one of these!

Does it really have touch screen hardware capability already?

Did you pay much for it?

Thats the first thing i did , poke the screen, it really need a touch panel.

Great stuff, tough and the price is really going to give the pda's a run for there money

You know @ Las Vegas they've confirmed they're releasing one with a bigger screen and WiMax!!!
That's the one I'm holding out for...
8.9" screen will do me fine!!

Now there is irony for you - considering your recent posting infering non-windows software being superior... LOL

Have fun looking.... No really, good luck!!!

non windows software in my experience is better, just not as much of it out there.

i still run xp on my pc, but my new machine comes pre packed with linux, it will run xp, but thats a downgrade in my opinion

Here you go
http://megatunix.sourceforge.net/
A Linux version that works so well (better than the official M$ only version) that it's been ported back onto windows

Oh the irony is dripping tonight.
