Get the Axim to avoid Palm OS. Palm OS isn't terrible, but its very limited. Pocket PC is a great handheld OS. I only wish I had known that before I bought my m505.

Yeah me too, oh well, a freak accident involving a 12 volt adapter took care of my palm problem for me :(

Well, anyway my next handheld is going to be an original ipaq with a 512mb hard drive, running debian linux :p

Oh and the Dell Axim is a way better value than the palm zire. Considering what each OS can do, there is really no comparison between the two of them.

I chose my iPAQ 1910 over the Axim simply because of the size. Since I can fit it easily in my pocket, I take it EVERYWHERE. Coming from a PDA about the same size as the Axim (iPAQ 3635), I can't imagine ever going back to a PDA that size.

Too BIG! ;)

iPaq 1910 > Dell Axim

However the Dell Axim is a better value.

If they want overall best, get the iPaq 1910.

Can't argue with that! (Especially if we are measuring value by $/lb. ;) )
