Damn: I bought one when it said the 25th. I guess it won't be shipping today. Still, I wanted to have a chance, and I wanted to force the issue with them. Alas, it's far from all that's broken on their website (show me something that isn't broken!).
Thanks for covering this, Engadget. Why am I chomping at the bit for a Windows PDA, you ask? Well, it so happens that piano tuning software is one niche that is still on the Pocket PC platform. It made sense in the beginning -- no keyboard to restrict placement of the display when doing a tuning, and no hard drive or fan noises to muddy the signal going into the thing. And I really want a high-res display. I had finally decided to take the plunge the week Dell discontinued the Axim, so I was happy when I saw the 200.
By the way, I called HP, and the only difference between the 210 and 211 is which retail channel it's sold through. Lame.
