I Need a cheap PDA with a spreadsheet.

[gozulin]

My wife needs a PDA with a basic spreadsheet and a stylus. What's the best I can get for a hundred bucks? Used PDAs are fine.

No other features are required. That means no wi-fi, bluetooth, usb, etc. etc.

Um, you can buy like a Palm IIIxe or Handspring Visor and download install tinysheet on it.

Do these spreadsheets have to be Excel compatible, and transferable to a PC?
Does the Scrren need to be Color? or higher res?
Does it have to be Palm or PocketPC based?

An older Dell Axim x5 or x3 should fit the bill perfectly. The x5 is less expensive but the x3 is smaller and can get integrated wireless.

Well, You can do basic spreadsheet stuff on a Palm IIIXE ( http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-PALM-PILO...90QQcategoryZ38331QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem )
or Handspringn visor ( http://cgi.ebay.com/Handspring-Visor-cl...88QQcategoryZ38331QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem )

Screen res is kinda small though and not the greatest for Spreadsheet apps IMO.

This would be better for spreadsheets... ( http://cgi.ebay.com/Casio-Cassiopeia-EM...63QQcategoryZ38331QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem )
