Hitachi WLAN, Windows CE .NET PDA for Non-Business Customers

Hitachi-NPD-10JWLAs reported in the Tokyo PC Users Group tpc.mobile newsgroup, Hitachi seem to have started shipping their previously business only WLAN PDA to private consumers. The site in Japanese is http://floracity.hitachi.co.jp/go/direct/direct/pda/index.htm. Key good specs include a PXA250 processor, in-built IEEE802.11b WLAN, weight of just 155g and reasonable priced (9000 yen) PC card jacket. Not so impressive specs include 3.5" screen, only one MMC/SD card slot and limited bundled software. The OS Windows CE .NET but I'm not sure what this means in terms of compatibility with Pocket PC apps and compatible hardware.
