I was thinking of buying one, but I postponed it. I'll get one once they a) have a normal price, ditch those stupid buttons, c) market it as a portable computer instead of a agenda thing, d) get a pressure sensitive mouse, and e) can recognise _my_ handwriting.

I have a HandSpring Visor, it isn't too bad. They have a special style of writing called Graphiti. Really easy to learn. With the Visor, as with most oother PDA's you can install software with your HotSync software and your PDA Cradle. Just tell it to install the software when you Sync your PDA to your computer.. I.E. make a backup of your PDA on your comp. PDA's don't have mice, to big/clinky, they have Styli's/the little pen majigger. Faster and easier than a mouse, but, very inacurate if you ever planed on using your PDA for graphics on the go. The Pocket PC, Mmmmm.. Now that is a PDA and a half, wireless networking within like 500 yards of base station and about a million other kick trash things that it can do and comes with... That is a nice PDA.

Palm M100. Will eventually upgrade to something a bit more expensive, but it does what I want. Use it all the time.

oh i have a Mead Notebook college ruled 5.5x8"
It is real easy to do graphics on the go and I didn't have to learn it's language for writing.
It holds so much data it's impossible to measure in mb of memory. I'm sporting the black one right now but next month I'll probably get a new face for it and it'll be blue I think.
I tried to hot sync it with my computer once and nothing happened. I even put it in it's cradle (bookshelf) but I guess I don't have the proper cables.
Maybe someone can help me with that.

Pocket PC for me as well a Cassiopeia E-125. I use it for everything, and get more addicted to it daily. If I were buying now I would get an Ipaq but I have to say Pocket PC all the way. Beside you can skin it

I have an ailing Ipaq in a groovy-cool Vaja Billfold case. I don't have the dust problem, but I have a severe spiking problem... and at this point my Dell Inspiron 8000 notebook is getting better battery life.

Time for the Ipaq to be sent back in. The Ipaqs are great... except that it seems that everyone I know, including me, has had to send theirs back in. I'm dreading this because I don't want some refurb that is in worse shape.

A truly great device shot in the back by horrible horrible quality control.

When oh when will we see the next gen devices?
