The iPaq looks increasingly a much better value than anything else in this class
NLG 1499 at the Vroom&Dreesmann department store and most Dixon's branches and availability improving by the day

The only added value Yopy has is a custom ASIC to get around the 4096 ( 12-bit ) color limitation of the other Chopin-based devices

Adding duties , VAT , local sales taxes and eventual dealer markups and you end up close to NLG 3000
