If you're a masochist (sp?) and would like to experience the nuisance of Windows in the palm of your hand, get a PocketPC device. The Dell Axim units are reasonably priced and good features.

If you'd rather not have to deal with Windows, get a Palm Tungsten. I've got a T3 and love it. However, I'm tired of carrying a cell phone and PDA so I will probably consolidate when the Treo 650 comes out.

A Palm can do everything you'd need from a PDA including editing MS Office docs, surfing the web, and running a Remote Desktop Connection with Windows. I guess PocketPC fans feel that Palm's lack of wi-fi is a problem. Well, it is if you _really_ need wi-fi. The wi-fi SD card just came out for the T3 so you're all set.

Don't forget that public use of wi-fi requires a HotSpot account at $20-$50/month. My dad drives around with his Axim and searches for wireless routers. Not the he connects to them - he's just messing around. I guess he's got a lot of time to kill.
