- Does everything and moreI bought this to have wifi internet access at free hotspots, without any monthly subscriptions. It does all I wanted and way more. In fact, I can't seem to find anything this unit does NOT do. With the addition of freeware software, I can watch full DVD movies, listen to streaming internet radio, watch online videos, process email, surf the web, download stuff, view PDFs, read eBooks, write music, RECORD music, play video games, view pictures, take notes, make actual phone call using SKYPE, annoy coworkers with a synthesized "Theremin", and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember at the moment... other than the beefy horsepower in my desktop, this little thing does nearly everything my big box does - and fits in my shirt pocket!
I have not had wifi speed issues I see mentioned here - yes, the "BARS" are low sometimes, but the wifi works great when you dial it up to 100%. Speed of processor seems fine too. It's a work tool to me, not a video game or CAD manipulator. Yet I play video games on it all the time. Using TCPMP it has NO PROBLEMS playing back full speed, full screen video/movies.
My level is advanced geekness so I have not feared pushing it past it's limits and am always suprised how well it handles everything. It does get "rebooted" every other day or so since it is Windows based and suffers like every other Windows of memory fragmentation, thus needing cleansed. The 16GB mem card I put in it works great.
Great unit - best power per price I could find - I highly recommend it

- Great unit but compatiblity issue kills its name.The ASUS MyPal A626 is one of the best Pocket PCs I have ever seen.
But unfortunately, neither Amazon.com's description nor the manufacturer's note did not explain that it doesn't work with Vista computers very well.
Although there is no problem recognizing the device and interact by putting files around, when it comes to synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook 2007, it does nothing.
Windows Mobile Device Center tells me that it has been synchronized, but I find no difference on the unit.
If someone knows a solution to this, I would greatly appreciate if you could contact me via Amazon.com

- Great Pocket PC!!!This pocket pc is great. It is a pretty small one and looks great. This pocket runs really fast. Mine has pretty bad wifi range, but I don't know how it would be with a brand new one. (bought mine used) I really recomend this pocket pc to everybody.
