Despite what other people say, the exclusion of built in wi-fi in a PDA these days is a serious omission. It's now a "given" that a PDA will have it. The only debate should be if its "b" or "g" [and what is the XDA O2 mini s variant??

With that added the A701 is a powerful competitor to any HTC non 3g device.

not really: people use SD card slot mainly for 1GB or even 4GB SD memory card slots and they very reluctantly would give it up for SDIO Wi-Fi. Trust me: if you don't have memory card in your Pocket PC, it's not usable very much...

asssiste gps means regular gps + faster gps fix through downloading satellite data over internet. Of course some operators charge more and some less for downlaoding things over Internet.
