Need your thoughts on a PDA to buy

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

I am a long time Psion user and my current one is in the last stages of its
life. I need to move to another platform and have had experience with the
HP Jornada 720 and Active Synch. I seem to have endless problems with that
set up and Outlook. It begins to synch then just sits there after getting
through most of the updates until I disconnect the HP from the link. I also
do not like the fact that I cannot cross out items on the calander and have
them remain that way. I guess I find the Psion system the most user
oriented in terms of how I work.



I am considering moving to one of the PDA running Palm OS. I am interested
in any thoughts or suggestions experienced users have had with the Palm OS
(and for that matter with the Win CE systems) and its use with excel
sheets, Word, and PowerPoint, off line email and other applications. I am
also interested in any thoughts and suggestions you could offer concerning
battery life and over all performance Vs the Win CE systems.



BTW, if any one is aware of a Palm or Win CE package that enables using the
DeMarco structured analysis, please let me know becasu ethat could be a
major factor for me. I have been using such a program for several years on
the Psion, - free ware and it is a real gem.



I would like one of the newer PDA (Palm or Win CE) systems that have 802.11b
so that I can synch with my desk system (Win XP) without wiring it up.
