The Treo 600 is available for $149 from most providers
nowdays, maybe $249 if you already have a provider. Even the
Treo 650 is $299.

Palm doesn't require a high-res display like a start-bar type
environment. Furthermore, the Treo 650 does have a better
display with higher resolution. I haven't seen anyone
offering it for less than $299.

??? How about the "battery whine" problem with Pocket PC

Palm just works and works nice for myself. I've been using
Palm-based phones for almost 5 years now.
If I want more, I'll go with an ultra-light notebook.

I could have swore there was an option to split on X size in
mencoder.

No SD/MMC slot? My Kyocera 7135 / Treo 600 have been
Godsends because they have that nice, small, little slot in
their tough, rugged designs (I dropped the crap out of my
phones -- and I've seen Pocket PCs crack on half the height).

??? Mencoder has a lot of options, try'em out.

Depending on your MPlayer is built, it may take all the
mencoder options. Play with them (hit the man page).
Definitely RTFM here, sorry, but that's it.
