As sb remote: I've had a 770 since last march and use ben's skin on the 770 (obviously) and on my pcs. After an initial period where I used the 770-as-sb-remote a lot, I now use the pc more than the 770 (other than at parties, where it's still the cats meow!). I think this has more to do with my perhaps peculiar rhythm in selecting music than with the device per se; I tend to que up 4 or 5 'albums' (I still prefer listening to tracks in the order they came on the original album/cd) or a pandora radio station so there's not a lot of moment-by-moment interaction and the always-on laptop or the actual sb remote tend to be a bit easier since I generally already know what I want to play.
As a browser: I use the 770 as a lying-around-on-the-couch browsing device quite a lot. You'll see on these forums a vibrant pov re 'why not just use a laptop' and that makes sense UNLESS you're like me and find that somehow a laptop is just a bit too awkward and a bit too hot (literally) to have anywhere near your actual lap for an extended period of time. If that's the case for you AND your browsing doesn't require a lot of typing (a pretty big stack of 'ifs' I know) then the 770 is quite remarkable as a browsing device and in a whole different league from other pdas since most websites work as-is on the 770 and most definitely do not on other pdas (because of the 'full' screen size of the 770). fyi, I read a fair number of blogs everyday and the 770 is really great for that; I also read but do not reply to email on the 770. I own a Dell Axim as well as a drawer full of blackberry, treo, q phone devices that supposedly have internet accesss but I've never in my life willingly accessed an internet site on them unless I was miles a way from a pc/laptop. I will use the 770 instead of a laptop if I'm 20 feet away from the laptop.
