The Best PDA/Pocket PC - Vote!
Hey - For all of you guys planning on getting PDAs and Pocket PCs, or for those of you who already have them, Im in need of a little help.
Which one do you think is the best, taking into account multiple features, options, expandability, compatibility, and cost?
Thanks!

Ummm....you're kidding, right?
Well, that is somewhat true, any unlicensed music can only be copied to the stick 3 times before you have to buy a new memory stick. That's what the Music Clip operated on and that's why it sucked so bad.
"Licensed" music, AKA POS demos and ****, can be copied as many times as u want.

Your Clie sucks compared to all the crap my PPC can do...full fledged web browser...file system..full color games..and i bet cheaper than your Clie...$199 for my PPC, that's what black and white Clies go for.
oh yeah did i mention great battery life?

Speaking of my 320x320 65,000 color screen and my built in MP3 player with remote, oops - right...the topic at hand...
Battery Life:
a) Casio EM500 - 7/10 Hours
b) Sony Clie PEG-N760C - 2 Weeks
What were you saying again?
Stats according to a) Casio Website & b) 2002 Mobile Technology Sourcebook
BTW - Why is battery life such a huge factor for you?
Both have full color games
Pcket PC has the Clie on the browser part but...
Both have the normal file system everyone knows so...
What have you got left man???

I have a MMC slot, you've got to buy more expensive and proprietary memory sticks.
No, since most Palm OS games aren't in color, there are only a handful that are in color. Almost all PPCs are in color, therefore most if not all games are in color. Hell, you can even play Quake on a PPC :D
Palm OS does not have a normal file system, my dad has a Palm IIIxe, i've seen it
Video player? Voice recorder? Pocket Word? Pocket Excel? MS Money, Pocket Streets, Microsoft Reader? Didn't think so.
What about playing short WAV clips (it's easy to h4x0r it) for a wake up alarm? PPC has it, Palm does not...
Oops, forgot to mention. On Pricewatch, the lowest priced Mp3 playing CLIE is $368. Mine was $199. So not only did I get way more features than you, but had i bought this myself I would have paid less.

Games: Ive got plenty of games, both in color and in black in white. Soon, Grand Theft Auto for Palm OS is coming out, I just got finished with some Serious Sam - similar to a Quake/Wolf 3D, and I just played a FULL version game of Sim City.
I have no problem using memory Sticks, seeing as they are compatible with other Sony devices I have like a Digital 8 Handycam
MS Money - Nope (WHAT A LOSS!) But Ive got a load of financial sotware that I have, and can get for free
Pocket Word - Got it
Pocket Excel - Got it
Pocket Streets & city directories - Got em in FULL detail with more info on my home town then I could ever have known
Microsoft Reader - You know i got it
Video player - Got it (Man - Did you even look at Clie stats!?!)
With BugMe software and/or other - MP3s can be used as alarms
Just look at the huge archives of free palm software across the net!
Now Im going to go back to watching some nice fine music videos and listening to my MP3s - you have to go and get your separate Archos, which is SWEET by the way. BTW - I got tons of versatile software like using my Clie as a remote on my TV/DVD/Furby/Etc... (OmniRemote for all those who know).
Man - before you get in the ring to argue - make sure you know your stats.

Oh really? So why do I have Windows Media Player with a full fledged Mp3 player in it? eh?
Mine came with a free 32MB memory card, you've got to buy even more stuff to add to the $400 price tag..
Why don't YOU learn YOUR stats.

Palm OS sucks, why do you think their stock is at like $2 now?
Quality is not an issue? Are you *****ing insane?!?
And please dont tell me that your new base of argument against the Clie is now going to be stock...

Well, quality IS an issue, but we know nothing about whether your Sony is more quality made or my casio is more quality made, so we can't argue about that.
No, but it sure shows that the world is moving to Pocket PC.
