Yup I'm running version 5, and know v6 works too.

V7 is due out soon, so you might want to hold off.

is the HP iPAQ hx2790 a good pda and what about wifi as it only has 802.11b and not g, does it matter

I have that PDA, and I have no issues with wi-fi at all.

It's a very good PDA. First thing to do if you get one, is update to the latest ROM from the HP website as this fixes some issues that the shipping ROM suffers. Do that, and you'll find it a very good all rounder.

any idea when tomtom 7 out

If true to form, and based on previous versions, should be late Oct/early Nov.

I didn't had an ASUS PDA but I have read that these PDAs are really good!
