I won't have time to post a detailed review before sending the unit back, but I will note a few things for anyone interested.

Pack it carefully. I'm going to make the seller an offer.

I am a crossword puzzle amateur. I'm not very good at them but still have fun solving them and don't leave a puzzle until it is done, I that suppose out of stubbornness. I especially enjoy the NY Times puzzles. I did some searching here and found a few threads discussing this in passing, but it is a device like this which would add the ability for someone, not me for many reasons, to port some sort of crossword puzzle software over and let people who are fans get some really nice use from this sort of device.

To me that would be a match made in heaven as I suspect many regular readers are also closet crossword puzzle people.

I just thought I would toss that one into the mix. Currently I just use my old decomposing PDA with a simple program that reads the format used by the NY Times.

If you'd rather get it quicker from me directly, send me a PM this morning before I send it back, and I can ship it to you directly.

It's not worth that price if it doesn't have a touchscreen. Also, the seller might not want to sell it to me.
