	Sounds like you know something about the 701's.  May I ask a
few questions?

	The display--256 colors or 64,000?  (You wrote "256K" but I
think that might be a mistake--please clarify).

	Also, can this thing actually be used outside?  (i.e., is
the screen viewable outdoors?  My 750C is *terrible* for outdoor
viewing...).

	Battery life (realistic) is...?  Can you change to a new
battery on the fly like on the 750's?

	Many thanks--I'm thinking of buying one of these things and
I want to know what I'm getting into.  ;-)
