I do miss the dual CF slots I had with my iPAQ 3835 and MemPlug sleeve. Having three slots available all the time was really very useful, for instance in transferring large files from an external hard drive to a memory card while using a modem, stuff like that. If a device comes along with dual SD slots and a CF slot, with at least one of the SD slots having I/O functionality, I'd be seriously tempted. The old iPAQ is very unreliable now, with a weak battery and bad backlight (I know, there's a kit with battery and inverter board to fix this, but investing further in a cantankerous old machine seems unwise), frequent spontaneous hard resets, and flakey power charging characteristics (it often can't tell when I've jacked in the AC adapter).
Other reasons could also draw me away from the X5, like VGA and great battery performance in one device... especially if that device had at least dual slots and an integrated GSM/GPRS phone module. But or now, the X5 will have to do, as I'm broke.
