Is a PDA right for me?

I am a network administrator for a company with multiple sites that supports about 700 users. We are in the process of upgrading our old nt4 network to windows 2003. I have heard stories of people being able to administrate many parts of daily checks and routines just using a PDA. I would have to purchase some sort of ethernet nic for it because we do not have wireless where I work. Another plus in my eyes would be ability to organize alot of my daily tasks and use it to coordinate those with reminders and what not.

I guess I am looking for a way to sell the notion to my boss that a PDA would increase my productivity at work.

What do yall think?

I think it can be a useful tool in administration, as well as a good overall tool for keeping organized. If you have Outlook at work, you can even sync your PDA with that, so you can reference your emails and your appointments, etc.
 
We use exchange 5.5 right now, but are planning on migrating to exchange 2003 when it is released. I sure hope that is soon. Anyone reccomend a good PDA?
 
I would get one by Hewlett Packard with the newest version of Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC, or whatever they started calling it. Anyway, Pocket PCs have a lot more features and you can get wireless cards to monitor websites and probably a lot of other stuff too. They are remarkably easy to use and would probably serve you well. I hope you don't mind shelling out quite a bit of money though.
