Just this morning, I have ordered the 4Gb version from WalMart... current around $150.
All other specs look to be the same, and once Ive used it for awhile, I will likely 'look under the hood' to see if I can 'upgrade' it...

Already own 'a few too many' SuperPAD-types... many of which need 'brain surgery' :rolleyes: and one of the eGlide4... EGL25BL, codenamed 'Tiny'. :p
If this one is ANYWHERE near as good as Tiny, then I might sell the SuperPADs on ebay for parts!

(Well, ok... all but 2... Shep (the working one with 4.03) and Curly (brain-dead copy of Shep)...

I look forward to posting MY observations about 'the new guy'...
:D
