Hi,
but not nearly as portable. Where PocketPC's win out is thier very portability. We have an application that has collected well over 500,000 assets using the XDAii, including collecting photographs. We have been looking for well over a year, and have finally found a rugged device with bluetooth, wifi, GSM, GPRS a camera and storage card.

I feel the main competitor to the PPC is a tablet or similar, none of which are less than probably £1200, and still don't have a camera, and the comms capability of the PPC without spending extra. Battery life is also an issue.
