Well, I just saw the clie' at Fry's(yeah, I hate them too, but HAD to get the new Dance Dance Revolution w/2 dance pads for my son's birthday.)
!Wow! is what immediately came to mind.
I did not want to love it.
I detest the memstik.
But, ....oh the form factor slim, light, thin...
graffiti recog is good on a screen HARDER than prism and BRIGHTER than the m505 next to it.
I could never, never, never, get used to THAT.
I beamed vegas slots to the clie, and man, it looked good, but the best part in my first date was, the TEXT!
I'm telling you, I almost came up with an excuse to buy it right then and there.
But then, reason came to me, I detest the idea of the memstik.
I don't want another mem solution.
Maybe mmc, but that's it.
I do not want to be 'brand' hogtied.
I can't wait to hear your comments when you see the new clie'

Lucky. No Fry's where I live. Does anyone know if it's in any other retail chain.
Actually, I shouldn't go see it - my Prism is only seven months old. I can't justify buying a new PDA - can I? If only it had a SB slot.

Damn. I knew I should have gone to Fry's today.
First impressions
By: Fat_Man @ 06:20 PM
Looks like the Clie N710C is out at some stores. "jeffeynboo" has an excellent first impression. So far the Clie sounds very promising.

Ditto man! I love the Clie for it's Hi-Res reflective screen, and even more for it's Headphone Jack and MP3 capabilities 
but I hate it for it's Memorystick expansion
. I would hate to sell all my SB's and buy New Mem stick stuff 
. Yeesh!
I guess I'll have to wait for Handsprings new baby. maybe a 320x320 reflective in an Edge form factor that can display 65,536 colours and a tiny expansion slot for Modules that don't increase the overall size!!

Well, I have a prism now, and if I were to get a Sony (I do have other sony devices that use memory stick, so I don't mind) It would have to have a modem. Pretty much, I just want the ability to store and get email. So unless there is some memory stick modem thing out there, I don't think I'll get one soon.

There is a modem sled...Makes more sense than a Modem Memory stick anyhow, seeing this way you can have both the Modem AND the extra memory.

Every time I come close to being swayed by the Cli�'s screen and form factor, I remember the Memory Stick, which snaps me out of my spell. The cheapest 64mb MS I've come across is $81.12, with $11 shipping; a 64mb SM card (for use with the MemPlug) is $47.00, with free shipping. For any size, I have yet to see any MS that comes close to $1 per megabyte, where CF and SM cards, more often than not, are under $1/MB. And I remain skeptical of Sony's ability to produce affordable I/O MS modules, even though it's technically feasible.
It's interesting that people once complained about the proprietary nature of the Springboard slot, even though the technology is being used for non-propriety memory solutions like CF, MMC and SM -- and possibly even MS. I'll stick to the Prism and keep my expansion options open.

I'm with you. I refuse to consider another, albeit even MORE proprietary, memory.
At least w/smc, cf, mmc choices, I'm not limited to brand.
Furthermore, I can't imagine the necessity for Sony's own media. Were they sitting around the conference table saying, "Well, we could use sm or cf or mmc or....Nah, let's just make our own."
