Sure, this debate rages on - palm, psion, pocketpc, x, y, z or whatever.
at this point in time, imho, I consider only two platforms worth’considering’ - palm and windows ce. the question’what platform?’ could be probably answered by posing some of these questions.
purchase price. advantage palm
expandability. advantage win ce
good looks(screen / colors, etc.). advantage win ce
versatility of programs. advantage win ce
stability of os. advantage palm
free software available. advantage win ce
desktop interface. advantage both
proprietary os. advantage neither
hardware peripherals. advantage win ce
multimedia capabilities. advantage win ce
nice plus features. advantage win ce
using the entire screen for input. advantage win ce.
whooops, there are a lot more out there - I guess this list should be longer.
I own a pocket pc, and am very very happy with it - have seen / reviewed / considered lots of other devices, but finally bought it. am using it. am overusing it. am very happy.
imho.
