I'd agree with this. That's the reason the color version of the 1800 has been sitting around for well over a year now and still not in production, despite the release of the color version of the PPC-based 2800 which uses the same plastics and screen. Similarily, no support for a 2D scanner on the 1800, even though one was available on the now obsolete 1700. And a general bias towards releasing new devices with PPC and not with PalmOS. And still no color alternative to the 1550, which would be really, really desirable! (end of more ranting) Roger Stringer Marietta Systems, Inc.
