Summary: Can't say Enough -- Worthy upgrde from the 680!
Review: The speed increase is well worth it, alone. Some may disagree with me, but I have a little experience in graphic pictures, and JPeg's and GIF's are a little richer in this model than previously, even with the 65K colors driver update installed in my 680.

The 720 does support JScript, an indispensable browser add-in, and 128-bit encryption, SSL, and more. All updated from the version of IE shipped with the previous OS release.

Battery life is indeed better, even with a big CPU speed increase.

It's funny that I am reading where users of Pocket PC's are buying keyboards as accessories, which is of course, an integral part of the 720.

Also, don't forget that the 720 displays web pages in their "native" format; i.e., Landscape.

I use my handheld on my lap, on a restaurant table, and other platforms. In all cases, I simply set it down, tilt the screen to the optimum angle for where I am, and I'm in business. A pocket PC just lays there, flat as a pancake. It's in its element only when being held in the palm of a hand, which I admit a Pocket PC is better suited for, than the 720. But I never need to use my 720 in that fashion.

If you absolutely need to use your handheld while standing up, holding it in the palm of your hand, then you do need a Pocket PC; otherwise, think seriously about the 720.

Review: This is a great product, but the keyboard takes some getting used to. I have also not yet figured out how to access AOL using the e-mail feature. My understanding is that there is an AOL download accessory for other HP devices, but perhaps not yet for the 720. I would appreciate any thoughts from other users. Many thanks!
