Is it too soon to say I told you so?

Uhoh! More bad news (as if no one saw this coming)!

They're jumping like rats from a sinking ship...

PPC for the win, its no contest but Palm makes a strong effort.

bluetooth link the 2 together and have 2 gigs on the fly storage

1gig flash card in each device and networked together using bluetooth...
also uses the Phone as a Modem for web browsing.

:Q OMG THAT'S L337. I have the x30 High too, but I definitely need a better phone to pair with it.

I've owned at least 20 models between PPC and PalmOS amd must say I will use the Palm til the day the last Palm-based PDA vanishes off the face of the Earth. PPC is the crappies, buggiest productr MS ever released. As an organiser, it can't hold a candle to Palm, everything else (MP3, movies, games) doesn't matter.

Palm, because PPC's cost significantly more.


And <obligatory> Microsoft sucks! <obligatory>

You're kidding right? If we're talking about the $100 junk Palms, OK. But in the mid to high range PPC's own Palms...mainly b/c of Dell.

Palm's new POS "LifeDrive" costs $499. You can get basically the same thing in an Axim X50v for ~$370. Not to mention an X30 High would be even cheaper than that still

PPC all the way

When I was shopping for my PDA, I was looking in the $200-$250 price range. There were NO PPC's in that range at that time with comparable specs. I don't even think there were any PPC's in that price range, period. The Axims were considerably costlier. I'm happy with my Zire 72.
