Is that the same company that makes the PC motherboards?

Do you have a web link for me to take a look at this thing? I keep running into foreign websites (ie Russian, etc) and unfortunately, though my wife is Russian and fluent in the language, I woefully am not.;)

Thanks for the pic...pretty small though....

I'm not too impressed by the stats though...I like the Tungsten's ARM processor better and whenever they hopefully fix that sound issue, it will finally be a truely worthy unit....

The S60 PDA is by Acer, not Asus. I don't think Acer markets it in the United States.

Well, I think they do, but not in the PDA market though. They make a lot of computer peripherals and stuff...

Didn't Acer make a board that has some big huge vacuum TUBE on it?

Or am I thinking wrong company?

You mis-read my post. I wrote "I don't think Acer markets it in the United States." "...it..." refering to the Acer S60 PDA. ... Acer America is headquartered in San Jose, which is about 40 miles south of where I work and I drive by their facilities whenever I visit our Silicon Valley district office. Acer America markets desktop PCs, notebooks, modems, CD ROMs, monitors, scanners, and other computer related items in the United States. (They just don't market PDAs here.)

Sorry about that OldBlue

I missed the 'it' in your sentence as you detailed in your response. I knew those speed reading classes would be trouble in the future!;)

Sorry guys yes its ACER not ASUS. Here is a link. I live in the UK so I don't know about it's marketing in the US.
