Some random tips:
- you can run your X50v both in 320x240 and in 640x480 mode; switching requires a softreset. You also need OZVga];
- I usually keep my Del in 640x480 mode; |
I think I'll be doing the same.

Try the two games that come on CD with your X50v - they look both impressive;

I will... I like playing games (playing Ancient Enemy at the moment - Diablo on a PPC, woot!)

This really excites me
As you know, I read _a lot_
ubook on an hx4700 was just beautiful. I'm really looking forward to the VGA screen (and speed increase) for reading. The wifi should be nice too (the local McDonalds have all set up wifi hotspots in the past few months, so I can surf and get fat at the same time

I've been an avid betaplayer/divxencoder user for a long time, but I haven't tried TCPMP yet... I should remedy that.
