If you're looking to save some money, I think the III is identical to
the IIIx except for the screen. Friends at work have the Pro and III
and seem to think the IIIx isn't worth the extra $$$.
I bought one of the original CE machines, an NEC MobilePro 400, and gave
up on it as too heavy and too limited after about a year. I used it to
read email on a couple of trips, and that was fun, but replying on that
keyboard just wasn't in the game plan. If Warner gets FreeBSD booting
on MobilePros I may have to revive it.
As far as the goodies go, get the machine and use it for a while. If
you need something else, it will become apparent quickly.
