>Integrated 4 Gb microdrive
Well, that would only be useful for mp3 or movies only. I know of no one that needs more than 256 MBs of data anyway... :)
Also, maybe I am wrong, but microdrives are close to hard drives in architecture, and if that's true, don't expect more than 40 minutes of battery life if you use them all the time. Don't forget, even the 40 GB iPod has ONLY 20-30 minutes of battery life when its hard drive is ON and used. A friend of mine went to China for a photo session and he used the iPod as an external photo storage solution, and the battery was all used up after 20-30 minutes of file uploading, while the normal ipod battery time for mp3 playing is 12 hours (the hdd is going to sleep after reading the mp3 and loading it to the memory).
So trust me, you don't want microdrives, mini-hard drives and the like. Not before the scientists of this Earth have created an unlimited battery source. :D
>WiFi 802.11g (so I can use 11g networks, even slowly)
From what I know, all 802.11g APs allow backwards compatibility for 802.11b devices. If they don't, it's a software problem on the PDA's side and it should be fixed. So, I see no reason to include a significantly more expensive module for g, which eats up more battery and it wouldn't be able to deliver the speed anyway because the I/O of the PDA itself can't handle such fast connections.

You are a karaoke user? :D :)
>Delete PIE :P
Or upgrade it to 6.xx, patch it up, and include a firewall to the device. Indeed, might be cheaper to just include Netfront rather than asking MS to deliver all that in a timely manner. :P
