WOW! I didn't have any of those problems when I ordered my wifes and my 
own dell. Her's was supposed to ship on Dec 19, it arrived on Dec 5th. 
Mine was supposed to ship around the middle of January, and I got it 
before the end of December! These Dell's are REALLY popular. Great 
price, great product. I don't much care for the overall look of it, but 
you can't beat the price! On a different note, I just tried the demo 
version of Pocketmac. It seems to run okay, but the demo version is so 
limited, I'm not sure I want to shell out $70 for a product I can't 
really try! Will Missing-Sync be able to install programs on the ppc 
like activesync? How about removing programs from the device? I have a 
"reader" program that runs on the host machine and installs and removes 
books from the device. Would that still be able to run on the mac? or 
will I still have to use the wifes beige beast?
