even though it doesnt have an XScale processor and its a HPC, the J720 is really good for gaming. The speaker doesnt get blocked as it is on the bottom(unless you play on a pillow) and it has the arrow keys in the exact same format as on a regular computer.

Ah, I miss my Jornada 525... the jog dial created a perfect up/down control, and an equally perfect left/right control in landscape mode.

Yea i loved the 528. Ive had all the jornada's and i still miss my 528. If they ever remade a 525 jornada just with 64mb ram 65k screen and a xscale id buy it. But for now I think the best pocket pc is the 568. Arm's (it gets 9.6fps on quake!) 64mb ram 32mb rom , a recharable replaceable battery that i can get about 20 hours on!!! A great screen , a cf card slot(come on do we really need any thing more then 1gb?) A 8 way control d-pad which you can all so press multi buttons while using it. It's crazy light i think 5-6 oz i think. It's very thin 0.7 inch thin. I have the zayo razor but i dont even use it , thats how much i like my 568.

Because it has THE BEST PocketPC design EVER. It has a flip cover case that is attached to the device. And because it gets very good battery life. If I had to chose a single device as the best PPC all around it would be the Jornada 568 hands down.

Right on 568 rocks! the dust can be fixed. I found out the dust comes in threw the holes on the side were the flip cover goes and also the pen hole.. so once those are covered (i used a little peice of ruber for the sides simlar what the 525 had on it.) you get a tiny bit of dust but nothing to the level were you dont mind.-i wonder how can you preffer the jornada568 more than the Zayo... if actually the zayo is better in all ways, except Zayo got SD and the jornada CF-... nooooo way. The 568 is much better in all of these area's:
Controls
sound
battery (both longer battery life and replaceable)
software bundle(hp allways does give you the most bang for your buck in software)
And I would like to say that the speed is rather close in benchmark's. I enjoy the watching moves on my jornada more also because the sound and in motion seems much smother on my jornada. The only thing that the razor has is speed and some what smaller (not enought to make me like it more). And the speaker place ment and joypad is crap compaired to the 568
