I use a Compaq iPAQ PDA...it's really cool, but it sync it up with my PC. I also have a Visor Deluxe which I connect to both my cube and PC. I just wish there was a program for the mac to allow Money 2k files.

When I used to use Windows, I had an HPC, one of the ones with a keyboard, and the colour screen and all. It sure looked pretty, but it was terrible on battery power. Couldn't go a full day without needing a recharge.
It came with a camera add-on, that literally let you take one picture before the batteries went dead. And installing the CE services on the desktop totally messed the desktop up. It worked after a fashion, I struggled with it for 2 months.

Then, on the way to the airport for a 1 week training seminar, the batteries died, it lost all it's memory, and was utterly useless. I haven't used it since. Switched to a Visor for a bit (a significant upgrade from the HPC), and now I use a Newton MP2100 (best PDA I've used so far).

I use an H/PC at work -- the NEC MobilePro 880. It's always connected to my desktop machine. I only unplug it when I go on the road. That way I always have insta-backup when our Exchange server goes down. (I live and work in Oklahoma, yet my Exchange server is in Minnesota.)
