PDA Question

Hey. I'm hoping someone can help me here. I want to buy a PDA but am unsure what will work best for me. Currently, I'm stuck between 2 choices; Asus a626 or Ipod touch 8gb (price is roughly the same for me when both have 8gb).

My requirements (in order of decreasing importance)
1- ability to keep track and manage calendar tasks (like appts) and tasks (even better if the tasks can be set to be recurring)
2- mobile browsing/screen resolution
3- 3rd party support

The last time i used windows mobile, I had an Ipaq 1910. I loved using it (eventually stolen) and the today screen with tagenda worked great! But I have no idea what improvements and changes have been made with Winmo 6. The A626 unfortunately is limited to the same resolution as my old 1910 and i've read that the wifi is pretty weak.

In regards to the ipod touch, the interface appears to be better without the need for a stylus, the screen resolution is higher (320x240 eventually was a problem when trying to read more than a few lines at a time) but am completely at a loss when it comes to calendar and tasks. i was looking at the intelliborn app for it to give it that winmo appreciation of a schedule.

I was thinking of a phone/pda option but I don't want to get rid of my SE K790a and I have a feeling that when the Xperia X1 is released, it will be prohibitively expensive.
 
winmp 6.1 is great. I would suggest

treo 800w
motorola Q (the new one)
HTC touch pro
HTC Mogul 6800

Any of those would suit you fine.
 
I had the ASUS a620 and it was awesome. Wish I could comment on the a626.

You said you want to be able to manage your calander and for that reason I would recommend the Windows Mobile device. It syncs perfectly with Outlook so you can do all your typing on the computer and then transfer everything over to the device.

Also my ASUS came with the full version of Outlook 2003, which is darn nice for all us honest folk who havent ripped off microsoft with WAREZ versions of Office.
Check to see if the a626 comes with Outlook. That should be a big plus for someone who wants to get max potential from a PDA.
