I think that I'll take the Explorer since it will probably have a casing out of magnesium alloy and a 4 VGA inch screen! The 6300 isn't that bad either...
The Morpheus Model 2 will have a biometric fingerprint scanner and replace the 5400 series. Gable and Monroe will both be true multimedia Pocket PCs and include the Nevo remote control (and consumer IR). Ok, so I'll have a hard time making choices! Have you made your choice?
