I've got a 5600 here for testing (I'm overdue to write a review of it, I need to do that tomorrow...) and the battery is MUCH better. The new memory architecture is interesting as well. Definitely worth a look. The catch is that while the software has improved, I still feel that OpenZaurus is a much better software system. I don't know if they've got that working on the 5600 yet, though. It's been a while since I checked. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry at garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
