Who woulda thought of reading the documentation??? From the above disucssion, it was easy to assume this had been reviewed, but assuming is often silly.

Seems to imply all these machines are essentially "the same" on the inside, except of course the smaller screen on the 48gII.

Of course the 39g+, 39gs, and 40gs also share that smaller screen with the 48gII.

I think there are actually quite a few other small differences, aside from the minor difference in CPU clocking between some of the models.

For example, memory and ROM sizes differ too. As I recall, the first generation (with 3 batteries) of the 48gII had substantially less memory, and for some reason I think it did not have flash ROM, so that may not be a newRPL conversion candidate either. And I wonder if the 39g+ fell into the same category, since it was a contemporary of it -- are you sure the 39g+ has a flash ROM? Or might it, like the original 48gII, not allow upgrades?

(Also, I think the 39g+ was sold for a lot more than 18 months before the 39gs replaced it; if I had to guess I'd say it was over 2 years and possibly closer to 3. I believe the 39g+ came out about the same time as the 49g+ and original 48gII in late 2003, and I think the 39gs/40gs came out about the same time as the 50g and second generation 48gII in mid 2006.)
