ipaq numbers are deceiving

i just wanted to put that most people that have an ipaq do NOT have the ability to use a CF out of box. they are over priced when you consider that you have to but a sleeve to get expanded functionality. please make sure that when a port is made it is not arm specific only.

many ipaq users are former palm users that did not care so much for bells and whistles as much they liked the form factor and speed of the ipaq. once they got it they only got added cute case and flip cover for it. talking numbers here, vast majority of people never add a sleeve,, they become 'bulky' and they no longer fit so well in a pocket..

the future of the PPC is the arm cpu, but for now many people with expansion (802.11b) ablility have mips or SH, not to mention all the handheld older ce portables with PCMCIA slots..

my 2 cents..
