Good advice, undoubtedly.

And none come more shinier and flashier (literally) than the iPaq!

I have both a Palm III and a Psion Revo - neither of which are seeing a
great deal of use lately as I can't get online with either of them. - The
Revo does have an email client in it, but it does not include an IR modem,
so it will only go online when partnered with a suitable phone that does
have a modem built-in (most Ericsson models are OK I believe, - but my
Nokia
6110 won't play ball) - so I can only get connected by changing my phone,
which seeing as it is provided by my company, is not an option just now...

I'd really like to be able to listen to MP3's, (I think) - how practical
that would turn out to be in use though I'm not so sure - I'm used to
having
loads of them on my laptop (6GB worth) so I've always got a good selection
and never get bored! - obviously not an option with a PDA! and even with a
PDA that did all of the above, it's still not an option for me not to have
to hump my laptop around as well.... (which is probably why I rarely miss
my
PDA's)


Paul.
