ViewSonic V35 PDA
PocketPC2002 SE with updated media player, cleartype and newer version of microsoft reader, assorted hotfixes
Comes with USB cradle, charger, and international plugs for charger
Comes with stylus (of course)
Comes with box, manual, instructions, installation CD, microsoft outlook, and a rad viewsonic brand pseudo-leather carry pouch
Also comes with a 64 Megabyte SD card.. and possibly another one too
Has a SD (secure digital) expansion slot, which DOES support SD I/O. SD I/O allows you to purchase peripherals such as a Secure Digital 256mb storage card + integrated wireless card, and then plug and play instantly with the PDA. Instant wireless connectivity for cheap.
Great battery life, charges quickly, it has the Intel XScale PXA250 Processor running at 300mhz, and can be changed to either 200mhz or 400mhz , or even 100mhz for extra battery saving :)
Still in imac. Condition, no scratches on chassis or screen, backlight has minor blemish in the bottom quarter of the screen, doesnt affect usability really, and cannot see the blemish at all when backlight is off, screen is really clear and bright, great crisp colours and antialiased fonts look great with ClearType on...
Here are some pics

I have about 1.5 gigabytes of legal software for it as well, and I will be happy to pass on the software with the PDA, as I will have no use for it if i sell it....
Here are the OFFICIAL specs , even though I already went over them just before/.... but here it is in viewsonic's words -
Display: transflective TFT color LCD, 64K colors, Screen Size Diag: 3.5\", Resolution: 240 x 320. *
Battery Lithium Ion rechargeable.
Performance: Intel XScale 300MHz., 32MB Flash ROM, 64 MB built-in RAM, though only 36.45 megs is available to you.
size: 4.8 x 3.0 x 0.4. Weight Approximately 4.2 oz.
Audio: Built in speaker, mic and stereo headphone jack. Voice Recorder and Windows Pocket Media Player included.
Software: Pocket PC 2002 operating system. Microsoft Pocket Office suite including Pocket Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, Reader, and Outlook. Also, Terminal Services, MSN Instant Messenger for Pocket PC and Voice Recorder as well as handwriting recognition. eBackup 2.0 and Westtek's \"Clear Vue\" PowerPoint presentation viewer.
Expansion: 1 SD (Secure Digital) slot. Supports SDIO.
While not quite as fast as say, Yonney's HP5550 PDA, the Viewsonic has superior performance in 3d applications and when bumped up to 400mhz, difference is negligible in performance!
Just an expression of interest... It doesnt get much use other than the occasional game of scrabble and mp3 playing on the train, and some calendar and appointment stuff for work. But I want a sound system for my car bad. lol.
