Ahh but there is a reason I single out my Axim.

All the toys for my laptop I can use in more than just the laptop.
I can use the case as a briefcase, the portable optical mouse on any USB PC, and the wifi card in my work Laptop.

But the Axim. I can only use the stylus and screen protectors on the axim, the wifi compactflash only on the axim, the rhino skin case only on the axim. But the compact flash I can use on my G2 camera, and the MMC card I can use on my Nokia 3650.

And if you buy software for a laptop it will work on your desktop as well.

As far as what you should get in terms of speed. Get whatever you can tolerate.

I don't expect the new Axim to be that much faster than the 300. But, since the PPC software was meant to run on an ARM processor, it runs slower on a Xscale anyway. So you need the 400 just to run the same programs that a Strongarm 200 could.

Of course this will change now that all the new PPC's have Xscales.

When you think about what it does for $173 it doesn't matter that for $100 more you can get a better model, because even the low end model rocks!
