Need simple database capability

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

I am in the market for a dependable, shirt-pocket, PDA. My needs, in order
of importance, are

1. simple but configurable databases
2. simple but configurable spreadsheet
3. address book
4. appointment scheduling
5. Word compatibility
6. CF expansion
7. standard rechargeable batteries

(wi-fi and phone not needed).

What would be a good choice? Thanks.

Thanks for all the info and advice. In my brief - but uninformed - look at
what was available I was considering the Dell Axim. Either the X30 or the
X50v because of the better graphics. I am however uncomfortable purchasing a
PDA "sight unseen" since these can apparently only be purchased direct from
Dell.

Any ideas about them?

Thanks again.
