[Fw: RE: [jornada] About Jornada 54x]

Well that's worse. Apparently I won't in this case start to try anything with it. Thanks for "dooming" my ideas right away :) Otherwise I could've start to mess with it, and probably get it hard locked too. While it still works, it is more worth on ebay.

How's the support for 720 series then? Saw one of those at work, and don't know what's up with it. Never seen anyone touch it, so probably I could get it for nothing. Maybe it could be a better platform to play on? Atleast it has a StrongARM cpu...

Cheers Otto Waltari
