Sweet

Just got the $100 refund check for my Tungsten. Given that Newegg wasn't listed as an official seller in the refund program by palmOne, I gave this submission an expected value of maybe $20. Now the total cost of the Tungsten C is less than what I paid a few years ago for the Handspring Visor it replaces. So shall I go and spend the monies on the GPS receiver currently on sale ?

By the way, I'm really quite pleased with the Tungsten C. It feels less sluggish (400 MHz Strongarm cpu), it has ample memory (64mb), the screen is terrific (but harder to read outside) and the 802.11b wifi is neat. Drawbacks are the above-average weight, the fact that there are way too few open hotspots (but it's nice enough not have to go upstairs to check email) and that documents to go and the adobe pdf converter require windoze. So I only get to use that at work ...
