I've just bought the new Asus a730w.
but I'm not pleased with it so much.
everything works really good, but there is 2 things that relay bother me:
1) the low battery life, if the max time that u won't be without an access to electricity will be 1-2 hours, then it won't bather u, but if u won't be with an access to electricity for like 5 hours or more u won't like this pocket PC so much or u'll have to buy an external battery.
2) the camera isn't really accurate.
But the ppc is really good thing, and the large display....
