Along the lines of the new Zaurus is the Toshiba e800/805 which has been out since late last year. If you get the presentation pack it adds a USB port and a VGA port. Runs PocketPC instead of linux, also has built in 802.11b, CF and SDIO slots, etc. Of course the Zaurus with the spare battery might be nice, but I really need the VGA port. Anyone tried a CF or SDIO to VGA adaptor?
