Despite a multitude of things to recommend them, I’ve just never gotten into PocketPCs. Mostly it was the sort of kludgey first generation of software (something that really isn’t an issue these days), but partially it was the fact that despite higher relative processor speeds compared to Palm and Psion devices, they really didn’t seem all that much faster—certainly not fast enough to justify their ginormous size. That’s so not the case these days—the HP iPaq hx2755, for instance, is both super-fast and svelte. I’m not in the market for a PDA these days—that ship has sailed, by my thinking—but if I were going to drop $500 on something that wasn’t also a phone, I’d be going Windows Mobile over PalmOS. Strange but true.
