Well, I went and picked up a 120 at Service Merchandise to check it out,
here is the deal-

It is almost exactly the same as the 100 with the following exceptions:

- It has a green / yellow tinted screen, same size as before, that is
reflective ( not backlit ). It does make some difference in viewing the
screen, but not much in my opinion.

- It also comes pre-loaded with Pocket Quicken, and Clip & Go. They have
added the Quicken icon to the sides of the screen along with the other
proprietary program icons.

Aside from those changes, just a new box, better documentation, and a
higher price of about $ 375.00.

A note on the new preloaded items - Quicken is offered free with the
100, but you have to mail in for it. Clip & Go is installed on the 120,
but useless without some type of connectivity package. Also, I do not
think HP is offering the current $ 50.00 rebate on the 120, 100 only.

So, you are paying approx. $ 85.00 more ( considering rebate on 100 )
for a limeish reflective screen, pre-installed Clip & Go which you can't
use out of the box anyway, and Quicken which you get free by mail with
the 100 ( except that you need a connectivity program to load it once it
is mailed to you, but you will need it for Clip & Go on the 120 also )

Is it worth the extra $? You tell me.

Regards,
Michael
