Word to that.  I have had a PalmOS-based Treo for a couple of months 
now.  I have not had the time to learn about any cool "power-user" apps 
for it, or if it has any advanced features -- the only thing I have done 
is stored my contacts, appointments, and to-dos in it.

Oh, I did find a freeware flash-card application and used it to study 
for the SCJP, it worked quite well for that purpose.

At some point I would like to spend some time learning about ways to 
make better use of it, but for now it has replaced my Franklin planner. 
  (Which I am actually somewhat sad about, because I had an emotional 
attachment to it -- and it could hold paper documents, stamps, etc, 
which the Palm cannot.)

PS: I like the treo enough that I would upgrade to the phone version if 
Treo supported the phone company I subscribe to.  The keyboard is nice.
