Pocket PC vs Palm

[Dagenais]

Just wondering, what device do you prefer?

Pocket PCs, which feature more but are thicker, heavier and drain more battery.

Palm OS based devices offer a lot too, and are slimmer with more battery-life. It does less PC stuff though, since it isn't based on Windows (that can be good though).

I personally, prefer Palm.

How about you?

kenikov, Have you tried out the Zaurus yet? I think they it is much better than palms and pocket pcs. It also runs Linux. [:D]

I've heard a lot about the Zaurus, but I'm not a big fan of SHARP electronics.

I would much rather grab a PPC running windows over that.

Well, if you don't like Sharp, then what about Yopy

The YP 3700 looks pretty nice.

Or if you have an Ipod, put linux on it:

I do have an iPod actually.

Cool link. I might bring it up at a Mac forum.

They might not look too kindly on it though.
