You mean will they be the same once you pop in an ethernet mini-pci 
card?  I assume yes but will not be able to confirm until later.  They 
apparently do have the ethernet jack but of course that is unfunctional 
until you install a mini pci card.

That is nice.

I hardly use USB except for my Zaurus and I am not sure the Z is better 
than 1.x

BTW, does the X20 have an IRDA port?  Judging from the videos on the IBM 
website it does not.  That would be unfortunate since it prevents me 
from syncing with the Zaurus on the road.  The IBM Thinkpad site seems 
to be out of order at the moment so I cannot check myself.
