Viewsonic's low-end Pocket PC, the V35, is now starting to appear in various places online. <a href="http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=742117">PC Mall</a> has it available for $300 USD, but should appear in more places soon.

Of course PC Mall doesn't have it in stock, much like EVERY OTHER PLACE THAT HAS IT FOR PREORDER!

PC Mall had it in stock before, their site said so a little while before.

hi! does the viewsonic V35 have an onscreen keyboard?

All PocketPCs do.

And it also recognizes your handwriting, anywhere on the screen. You can just write anywhere on the screen and it will automatically recognize it and turn it into text.

It has a cable, not a cradle. No big deal. If you can afford it, the $300 Dell.

well instead of the Dell $300 i would rather buy the V35 for $275 at amazon, it looks a lot more sleek and is lighter too.What are the feature differences? what are the differnces between the Dell $199 and $300 other than the Ram and the speed.

and...

Here are some sizes...

- Viewsonic v35 = 5.8 cubic inches (4.8"x3.0"x.4)
- Toshiba e310 = 6.1 cubic inches (4.9"x3.1"x0.4")
- Asus Zayo = 7.1 cubic inches (4.9x2.9x.5)
- Toshiba e740 = 9.1 cubic inches (4.9” x 3.1” x 0.6”)
- Toshiba e550g = 9.5 cubic inches (.62" x 3.1" x 4.92")
- Compaq Ipaq 3870/3835/3970 = 10.8 cubic inches (5.3"x3.3"x0.62")
- Pocket Loox = 11.2 cubic inches (5.2"x3.22"x0.67")
- Dell Axim = 11.6 cubic inches (5” x 3.3” x 0.7”)

Assuming all of these 'official' dimensions are accurate. And a unit might feel smaller or bigger depending on its shape.

Here they are by class:

1-slot:
- Viewsonic v35 = 5.8
- Toshiba e310 = 6.1
- Asus Zayo = 7.1
- Compaq Ipaq 3870/3835/3970 = 10.8

2-slot:
- Toshiba e740 = 9.1
- Toshiba e550g = 9.5
- Pocket Loox = 11.2
- Dell Axim = 11.6

You see now, the PocketPCs are not cubic things, but if you are watching which is smaller, The ViewSonic will take lot of advantage over the new Dell, twice to be exactly. (5.8 x 2 = 11.6)
Devices with 2 slots are usually bigger than one slot units. CF slots need more space than SD, maybe if you could get a device with 2 SD slots ...
