I freakin left my Sony Clie with it's 32mb memory stick at the Radner Hotel in PA.
Now they tell me that the Housekeeper could not find it...right .
Well with all the new devices that are out or coming out. I have narrowed it down to:

Visor-Edge (Love the Mac Compatibility. Good: Small, and Fast Bad:Styli, Cover does not flip all the way back, chunky when you add a springboard module, not the newest Palm OS).

Visor Prism(Good: Color Bad: Chunky).

Palm-m505 (Good:Color, Newest Palm OS, Skinny Expansion. Bad: Keep hearing that the color screen sucks, Waiting until late May, not out-of-the-box compatible with Mac)

Sony Clie- not sure if I want another one. I liked it, but it was not Mac compatible. Really cool to have pictures with my contacts, and viewing mini movies.)

I would be very grateful for any help deciding.

Your Clie was mac compatible, you can buy drivers for $30 from a company
called Markspace. They work great. You can't beat the form factor of the clie, especially for the price.

In Japan Sony released a color Clie that can play MP3 (or equivalent) for $400. I saw it last week, it is very cool.

Good luck

people are saying the color on the m505 isnt all its cracked up to be, indoors/outdoors its just miserable. thats what ive read anyway. people are saying that the m500 (b&w screen) is nice. if you arent particular to color, id say look into that. the SD thing should rock, nice small form factor, looks cool, etc. if that doesnt do it for you, i like the visor platinum. both are mac compatible out of the box!
