The CPU of HC7000 is too slow, even it can play mpeg file, it is not smooth.
My HC7000 is HPC pro O/S, then I go Sharp and upgrade to HPC2000. Now I can browse hotmail page. Surfing the wbeis slow but combine with wireless lan card, it is quite a good mobile (remember, the battery life last long)
Also, if you look for sofeware, I suggest you try visit Japanese page since they have more HPC in Japan.
