Wireless N will never be implemented.atleast at the moment. Why? Carriers is in the business of selling DATA Plans. In the future, where hotspots will be everywhere and U have wireless N, U might not get Data plans anymore. Maybe we won't be getting Voice plans too. Because we can use the hotspot with wireless N on skype. Bad for business for carriers. So do not wish for wireless N.
Abelincoln, How did U figure 720P on HD? Do u know that U need 1280x720 to run 720p? Believe it or not, Iphone can handle 1080P output. This has been discussed before but some of U are confused about it. Iphone can handle 1920x1080 to be outputed on an HD TV. Now U people will say that our phone can do that too. The point that U do not understand is U don't just resize the video to 1920x1080. If U do that, the quality is still the same. U have to decode the h.264 codec which is the same quality as Blueray Disc. No phone can handle that as of now. Prolly Tegra equipped phone. But according to their specs, output is only 720P. Well, Iphone is being compared to PSP most of the time because of it's ability to play videos and it's 3d engine.
Edit: 1080P resolution played on Iphone's 3.5 screen with no problem. Somebody just need to come up with the cable to be outputed on an HDTV.
SD card is never an upgrade. Sure u can have more storage but u are giving up a lot of things too. Speed and security of the data. Even small counterfeit chinese company can put microSD in their phones. How can this be an upgrade? LOL
overclocking is unstable. it causes a lot of heat too. So really, overclocking is not recomended. Even PC have that warning.
If U have a 1080P 32" HDTV. U sold it and bought the same 1080P HDTV but this time it's 42". U woulnd't call that an upgrade? If that's not an upgrade to U, HD is not an upgrade then.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply, and for typing such a though-out response.
First, let me address the SSD:
- I know it isn't SSD in the Diamond, I was just saying solid-state memory, basically. I wasn't certain that it wasn't still considered solid-state, so I wasn't going to just call it flash memory.
802.11 Draft N
- You're absolutely right, carriers would never release it, but even stand-alone devices don't have N, so that is not as good of an arguement. Although, it stands perfectly well against the Touch HD, I was merely talking in general about PDA's and technology.
I actually think you are not correct in your statement about SD cards:
- The Axim has both CF and SD, and I think this is an upgrade over having just a single drive. However, with most devices coming with GPS, I don't think a second drive is needed, however I do think that the move to smaller cards was not wise. I think having a mini-sd drive/reader takes up just as much space as a full-size reader. Ok, so maybe not technically, but I just think it was a marketing move.
Also, why the move towards micro, when the speed is in the CF and SD cards? I doubt you can get the same speed, as you can get with full-size cards.
The main advantage of having a reader BTW, is only having to have your music stored, on one card, and your pictures stored on one card. Having a limit is never an option, at least not for me. You mean you think having the 4GB storage is an upgrade to a 16GB storage??
