I picked one up when Amazon was closing them out at $50. It's been rather handy. Battery life is rotten, as you might expect--- about 26 to 28 hours. I have to charge mine every night. I'm a Mac user so the Zaurus was a non-starter, though I didn't find that out until after I bought an SL-5600. I carried around my PowerBook G4 for a while, because it worked better and was less of a pain in the butt than the Zaurus. The Abacus has been a fair Godsend in that regard. I don't think I would have paid full retail for one when it was new, but having my entire calendar and address book on my wrist is pretty great. It even has a tiny stylus in the wristband. Not on topic yet though. ok bear
