"what is different about it from the last one Mike? and have you gotten a bomb case for it and a memory card? (did you see the link I posted for the cards?)"
Many things are different. A very imcomplete list:
Smaller
lighter
no external antenna
longer lasting on a charge
easily replaceable battery
can take an 8 gig card
faster processor
sharper screen
brighter screen
much louder maximum volume, and without getting distortion
higher resolution camera
records video
memory is static and stable
Bluetooth
internet is high speed (actually faster than the cable and DSL connections around this area)
television (!)
Comes with a slew of cool apps such as Google Maps, an MP3 player, powerpoint, excel, etc.
voice recognition and command
And much, much more
As for the case: at the moment, I'm using a bubble-wrap envelope. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
