Sorry, I can't answer your question.

I have a Japanese Clie 710 which I upgraded to a 760 with full English OS.
Now if that's something you want to do I can help you out.  The 760 plays
MP3 format music files - the 710 would not.  The 710 also wasn't WinXP
compatible - which is why I managed to pick it up for just 18000 yen at
Compumart in Nagoya. (The 760 of course IS compatible).
