1) Yeah, I just read that on HS's site. (It's a pretty amazing overhaul, w/a ton of updated data -- and the 3D demo is sweet.)
Jeff designed the Palm V, so I wasn't suprised they used "AA." (What the heck is "anodized," anyway?)
2) I'd 2nd this.
If you check the CLOSE UP part of the 3D demo, though, you can clearly see the plastic that underlies the "AA." It's not like the Palm V, completely enclosed. But it "looks" (don't ask me how) like a slightly more "rubberized" plastic than, say, my ice VDX. All told, it looks like it could take much more impact than the plastic models.
As for color, I was surprised at how good the red looked, compared to the rest of the models. (I'd've never gotten an orange VDX.) As someone else stated, though, I wish they would make a black / graphite model. That's the one I'd get. If not, though, I'd prob. end up w/silver. If they only had blue when I ordered, though, I could stomach it.
But my next model will prob. be w/a color screen, really. I'll hang back for now.
Slim & metallic sure is tempting, though -- I bet EVERY single exec. presently w/a Visor upgrades to the Edge.
