It looks like the rumors were pretty close on the specs. I wouldn't mind getting one. However, I need to save some money first. It is selling for $499.

I also find the device extremely interesting, but someone at PalmOne's sales department obviously has forgotten to check the exchange rates for some years.
The US-price is $ 499 while the european price is € 549, which is roughly the same as $ 694!
If the exchange rate was used the price would have been € 395.
I find it very hard to believe, that the price to ship one device to Europe amounts to $ 194, so I feel this is proposterous!
It seems, that PalmOne has a desire to keep non-americans from buying their products.
When I consider, that the sales tax in my country is 25% (giving a total of $ 867), I must face the fact, I can not get one until I go to USA next time (hopefully in a couple of years).
Can anybody consider this sales strategy reasonable?

Reasonable? No, unless it is being sent to France (grin)!!
