Feh. I hate my Pocket PC; I wish I went with the T3 instead. The only thing it has going for it is PocketArtist, which is the best PDA drawing program available for a professional artist/designer. But yes, feature-wise it's great. Windows --even a smaller version --not so great.

If you're going to sleep with the enemy, couldn't you at least do it with Carly instead of M Dell?! The HP iPAQs are better designed than the Dell Axims, and HP is now a friend of Apple.

I have an HP 2210 iPAQ and it's "okay." I was a former Palm m505 owner and have found the iPAQ to be much clunkier by comparison: it takes twice as many taps with the stylus to achieve the same result and the Pocket PC 2003 OS doesn't have nearly the same appeal as the more "human" Palm OS.

Depending on specs, I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch back to Palm when the next Tungstens (T5?) are available.
