I'm with ya, the 700 is an embarrassment! What advantage does it have?? Touch screen? Ugly. Search? K2 is much more intuitive.

As far as the K2 goes.. I'm set to buy it, I'm just waiting to see everybody's review to make sure it's everything it's hyped up to be. You hit the nail on the head as far as this gadget keeping you in tune with the world, ease of access to something you wanna read, and the infinite (?) learning potential with access to wiki.. one of my favorite sites!

A quote from the Simpsons: "Better than the moment, better than the memory, the moment... of anticipation!"

So that's where I'm at now, it's a nice chunk of change and I wanna make sure people love it before I blow it.
