Tummy - Thanks for the info. I had actually bought it this a.m. before I left for the day.

After much checking around (even Costco...), turned out that buy.com and walmart.com were the cheapest. Along the same lines as ecost.com (which was $432 -- but I didn't check their tax/shipping).

So, I am sure my husband will love it... Color, voice commands, and a PDA -- which he's been saying he wanted

I did get it from a good retailer (buy.com) tho, in case he had something else that he was 'dying to get' instead of this.

Cross your fingers
