I'm not sure I get your "the complete lack of onboard memory" issue. I'm sure like every other WinMo device it'll have a decent set of ROM/RAM...512MB/256MB or something pretty standard - hell it has to have something to run the frickin OS. It's got microSD so I don't see the problem. I'm still surprised that devices do come with a certain amount of onboard storage. I would much rather have an expansion option like microSD so that I could add the amount of memory I needed. And that amount could change significantly over the life of the device or just based on what I was going to do that day or weekend. With a 5MP camera (maybe even decent video recording quality), I could see photos & video eating up space, especially when a special event comes up. I would hate to have to remove stuff from my permanent onboard memory in order make room for recording long video clips. I'd rather simply swap microSD cards and keep rollin!
“The Pixi -- a sleek, tiny device -- seems clearly aimed at the only market Palm has recently enjoyed unfettered success with: the Centro demographic.”
