    Arrow Handheld PDAs ... Which is better?

    Just taking a survey, hopefully getting one by Christmas.

    More polls soon as I narrow things down a bit.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    I have a good friend who chants the virtues of her Handspring Visor. I almost bought one last year, before my wife got a laptop for work (which I use for writing when she's not using it, which is rather often ).

    Go with the CLIE -- both my wife and I have one. Sony's computer products are excellent.

    Okay, as one of the Terminally Clueless, I am still trying to figure out the uses of these little doohickeys.

    So, for those of you who Know and Love the puppies, what do you do with them?

    Many thanks

    the Palm OS is the best OS ever made next to DOS. I hate Windows OS and hate the Apple OS even more. Get either a Palm i705 or a new Handspring. They are durable, powerful and better then anything HP can give out. Sony Clies are nice as well, just stick with Palm OS.

    I take notes from my classes in it, store some of the reading assignments, when I can get them. It's a to do list & appointment keeper -- I normally don't need 'em, but it's been really useful. Address book. Calculator. Some can be turned into cell phones, as well as do email.

    I prefer my laptop for any kind of work above and beyond notes, etc. but the Clie works great for all that "don't need to lug a laptop around" stuff from owrk or school.

    Okay, so 6 of you prefer Palm-powered PDA, and only 1 voted PocketPC-powered PDA. Like PC over Mac, or is that the other way around?

    Oh, and gang, this is just a general question. I am sure to ask which brand and model in the forthcoming poll.
