My reasons, which obviouly are subjective, are the following:

#1. Much higher resolution screen (800x400) than any PDA I know of
#2. Open source, open source, open source
#3. Landscape display more friendly to Slimservin'
#4. I'd take an embedded Linux device over a PDA OS any day

I also expect it will be better (or, since it is open source, someone
will make it better) at streaming mp3s and vids (someone has already
ported VLC) than any PDA ever will. I plan on using the 770 as a
squeezebox remote, but also as a player, streaming slimserver...
