I've been reading about 2 performance enhancements for the 48 series:

SpeedUI
Meta Kernel

It seems that SpeedUI can be used on any of the 48 series while the Meta Kernel only works on the GX due to the 128k card requirement. It's not clear though if these can seamlessly work together on a GX or if there is any feature overlap.

But a 50g would beat any 48 in performance regardless of those enhancements, albeit with a much less aesthetically pleasing case and keyboard layout. The SD card would be a strong plus for the 50g though. If I didn't dislike the design so much the 50g would be an easy choice, but the 48G+ is also very appealing.

Ah... decisions, decisions!

Buy paperbag and HP50g, when both have arrived put the 50g to the bag so you don't need to look at it .. problem solved.
