I can play the old NES games on my Compaq iPaq using an emulator, plus SimCity 2k, and a plethora of other games. Not to mention it runs Outlook, and other personal and business applications. If you can find an old 3635 hanging around in the stores, you may still be able to buy it for around $120 or less via AMEX Blue, although, I think the $150 MIR has expired. Unless you are a kiddie just looking for a gaming platform to lug to school, this option provides far more for the money. The gaming capability has been a pleasant and unexpected surprise after I purchased my iPaq.
