Palm alternative?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

the tungsten e is a great device with a clear screen and fast interface. a
terrific upgrade for a palm user. the pocket pc devices are miserable
replacements for a palm and their wireless functionality are terribly slow.
pocket pcs do some things that a palm can not, but unless you want those
features you would be much better off getting the tungsten e... and it is
cheaper too.

Boy you haven't used a very good PocketPC. I find it to be considerably
more powerful than Palm, having owned both. The ability to use Terminal
Server clients is huge for me. The wireless works flawlessly.

Mine is also my universal remote control, controlling my entire house
through WiFi.

Give me a hint. What are the things the Pocket PC can do that the Palm
cannot, keeping in mind I don't need any wireless (internet, email, etc.)
features.

Thanks... Bob

Thanks very much. That did it. I guess I'll stay with the Palm.

Hi

I am returning Axim3 624MHz.. The Palm Tungsten T3 is much better and now Palm
offers WiFi cards. And the speaker, clearity of text, etc etc is much better on
the PalmT3. Easier tapping, inserting text etc. And the programs uses much less
space, and its copatible with so many more user where PocketPC later versions
dont work with older ones.
