True, but for arguement sake, it's a lot easier to have bluetooth wireless devices than to have dongles dangling off the Jornada.  Also, you can connect a lot more devices a lot more easily with bluetooth (wireless ear piece, wireless mouse, wireless phone, PAN).

Honestly, I don't really know my preference yet.  But I do have several bluetooth devices that I use with my notebook and can vouch that they are useful, especially considering that I don't any wireless dongles sticking out of my USB ports yet.  Both would be awesome too if possible.

I kinda like your idea of only putting enough flash for booting off of a CF card in the J72x's CF slot.  I'll have to do a survey of the flash manufacturers to see if there is a chip that has both an I2C interface as well as a regular data interface.  If I can find (or someone point me to) one that is small enough, a bluetooth chip or a USB chip may fit along with the RAM.

USER POLL:  If it comes down to USB OR Bluetooth, but not both, which one would be more useful?  My vote is still USB, but that's because I never got into the bluetooth craze....

I'm all for USB - one can buy BT for PCMCIA I guess. Or for USB. You
CANNOT buy USB for a jornada now.
