I would take an iB2 over a Pismo any day of the week. I would take my 2400 over any laptop other than the iB2. Between the iB2 and the 2400 I alternate on a daily basis. The several-hundred dollar price difference usually helps :) As far as flexibility, you mean the PCMCIA? I honestly can't see many things you can do on a 2400 that you can't on an iBook. Actually, I'm really curious... guys? Aqua
