2) There's no sync. I can sync my personal calendar with Google, but there's no sync or decent contact management software bundled with. They should gobble up GPE and make it standard, then create a Windows sync utility for it - or heck even sync contacts with Google would work for a lot of people.
But, I couldn't imaging slapping down another $3000 on these ($500 each after mem card and leather case) without some sort of contact sync. In the meantime, my employees will continue to use PocketPC. Yes, I know it's an "Internet Tablet" and not a PIM. Unfortunately the market (i.e. my users) seem to expect PIM features in a handheld device for some reason.
