Answer 1

I agree on the palm TX. I've had several pda's over the years including carious Windows CE/Mobile, Symbian, and Palm.handhelds and I think you would like he TX. It is in you price range, can connect to the internet by Bluetooth, WiFi, and through the sync cradle. Features a landscape mode, and includes

Unlike Windows Mobile, Palmos is designed from scratch to make the most of the limited resources of a PDA. As a result, PalmOs is much more efficient in its memory usage. As mentioned by a previous poster, you can easily store data and games of an Sd card, which can be as large as 4 Gbytes ( a standard DVD is 4.7 Gbytes). I carry my TX in a hard case, which includes storage for 2 extra cards.

Look into the Palm TX, MSRP is $299, however, it can be had at a discount or at MSRP with accessories (ie wireless keyboard) included. WiFi is also built in.



I find the Palm OS intitive and easy to use since its inception (mid-late 90's) and is fairly robust. Because the Palm OS is simple, don't be scared off with ONLY 128MB of internal memory. There is an SD slot which can accept and access cards up to 4GB worth of information.



I find it hard to navigate through MS OS windows and yes, I play with them all the time, but just can't get used to it. One window at a time on a tiny display is all I can handle (see).



For the business side of things, there are Palm versions of ePocrates:

I've played with my friend's father's (Dr.) and both are easy to use. Check into the sites and you can download some of the software there for FREE. If you don't have a PDA yet, borrow a friend's Palm and try it. I guarantee you will like it. LOL.



When not on call, in the off hours, there's a ton of third party software available and make the Palm TX a multi media machine, photos, eBooks, music (streaming w/ upgrade) and movies / video - Oh yeah, games too.



Get to a WiFi hotspot and you can cruise the Internet.



Can you tell I love my Palm TX and have gotten here via Palm Professional, Handspring Visors?



Good luck.
