Well I tried using the 210 as a music player for my truck today. It will actually work very well except I need to find a fm transmitter that works. This Belkin I bought is worthless (I got it at walmart WAY cheaper than in the link I provided). A number of my fleet cars still have tape decks, and I already have a cassette adapter so I know that will work well. The problem will be with my vehicles that have cd players.
Brighthand has a great in depth review of the 210. What I liked was they referred to it as a mini-tablet, which is exactly why I got it.

Good review of the 210

Right tool for the jobs
On the surface it would appear I took a step backwards in getting another standalone pda. I actually am planning on having this replace my nokia 770 tablet and my ipod. That sounds even stranger doesn’t it?
Well here is what I need.
-GPS usage, perhaps even sometimes without data connection (working on that one).
-music player for my car
-bigger screen for internet use when I don’t have Tabby
-device with plenty of room for storage
Here is the icing for me.
-Can synch with my exchange server
-Has Office Mobile (including One Note!!!)
-I am already very familiar with Windows mobile
-Can charge and synch with a mini-usb cable
So with the Ipaq 210 I can consolidate two devices to one and eliminate two sets of proprietary chargers. So the next few weeks I will be posting about how this works for me. I will have pics later.
