It has 3 USB ports. More then my MacBook Pro.

The most innovative part for me is the screen. Ambient light grayscale mode AND backlit color mode.

I often wish my Treo had something like that. When I'm in decent light and all I've got is an SSH window up on the Treo, I really don't need the full power consumption of a full color, backlit LCD.
