I personally prefer Palm OS devices. They are built to get the job done, not to try to mimic Windows. WinCE devices are bloated and it takes too much to do simple tasks. Palm OS has the usability features down pat.

And as far as browsers go, it all depends on which you use. There are browsers that will render websites pretty faithfully to the real thing, just sizing down images and stuff. But there's also like web "clippings" browser that only will work with certain sites that support pdas.

that was really informative, had no idea that thier were pda's that could scale down the real version of a website...interesting.

i've had both...each device is for different things. i love win ce machines with keyboards, it's a great idea for sending emial without carrying a huge laptop. but palm devices have MUCH better battery life, you can get a month or more from a palm. palms are more suited to addresses, phone numbers, etc.

Talk to me before you're about to get rid of it. I might be interested. I have a laptop and it rocks, but also looking for something smaller in addition. I'd of course not be ridding the laptop. I'd have both. Everything in it's right place.
