I certainly don't. A Palm is great. A handheld is something everyone >should have. I prefer an iPAQ - very much. That's all. I agree, I think the Pocket PC's are better. The best Palm's are VERY expensive. Almost the same price as nice Pocket PC's. Why are they so expensive if they are an inferior unit? I mean if you run a chess program like Chesstiger Palm on the best Palm unit out there VS Pocket Fritz2 on a good Pocket PC, who would win? Fritz? If so, how much faster is the pc vs the palm? Seems to me that a top of the line Palm unit could be comparable to Pocket Fritz in strength..
