Thanks for the good info, Steve!

Anyone else tried this? I'm really curious about this thing... like I 
said before, I don't have a Tungsten T (Santa was short of cash and 
only brought me the Zire) but no one knows what the future holds... the 
Zire is good to take the jump into the PDA world (it's not too 
expensive, so if you don't like it there's no big harm done) but the 
Tungsten T...*sigh*...  different world, wouldn't you say?
I would really like to know if this thing really puts away the T's 
hardware related suspicion.

Best,
