That's really not as bad as I expected. I had heard whisperings that it might be as much as an inch, which is getting a bit thick.

If I hadn't just bought my M3 I would be really interested in this device as a combo PDA/DAP (digital audio player). That's the role that my T|E played. In that context, I wonder what the battery life will be like. Spinning a hard drive and running wifi is going to suck it down. But it won't be as useful if it requires frequent charging.

I have to give Palm cheers for being among the very first to come out with a hard drive based PDA. I hope some of the Palm haters who have been vociferous lately over the T5 will step back. But I guess we should wait and see how it all works first, huh?
