I've had a PPC with WiFi and you could almost watch the battery level drop real-time. Okay, that's an exageration...but not that far from true. I had envisioned that I would use the PPC WiFi for browsing and then I found that the problem wasn't network speed but PIE rendering speed. The only thing I ended up using it for was wireless syncing...which would have been much better served by a $25 USB BT dongle or some such.

In general, I would agree on the WiFi issue. I've used on PPC and my old Handera 330. I honestly think that most people who want it have not used it on a PDA. I don't mean that in an overly negative tone. But like you, I've seen what it does to a battery and as far as the speed is concerned, it's total overkill. The PDA can't handle the data and the rendering takes a hit. Speed is always a good thing, but like I said.... overkill.
But the news coming out is good. Sure, I'd like bluetooth. Very much so in fact. But the improved screen and the extra memory are both good. More so with respect to the screen.
So now it seems the question will be what the two other "major enhancements" are that mykbol refers to. Here are my potential guesses.
1] Improved camera (maybe not higher resolution, but perhaps better optics)
2] removeable battery
3] slight increase in height to address issue of SD card popping out.
4] voice dialing and/or voice recording enabled on the device
5] push-to-talk
Mind you, these are just blind guesses. But you never know. Speculate away.......
