I like to say that the Palm is OK as an PDA, but the color version was nearly just as expensive as a Pocket PC, but with a bad color screen. It still misses quite a few great features from the CE / Pocket PC. I have used several CE devices as Email machines and if you want to read an attachment from the everpresent word or Excel, I think you are in trouble with your Palm. >As far as I know, almost all owners of Palms are happy with it.

As the sayings go: If you want a PDA a palm is fine, If you want a PC for your pocket, buy a Pocket PC!
