PDA Suggestions

[Hewitt Tech]

I guess I have to concur - I bought a Zaurus 5600 because I wanted one. I've
owned a couple of Palm type devices, a Compaq iPaq (Pocket PC) and now the
Zaurus. The Zaurus as you might suspect, is a *very* powerful machine. I
will in fact be replacing a laptop with it. But if your need is for a
classic organizer, Palm is the way to go...

It isn't really a *need* as much as it is a **WANT**.  I bought a Sharp
Zaurus 5500 off of the Home Shopping Network earlier this year when they
had that insane sale for $180ish.  I have been quite pleased with it so
far.  If you dim the backlight a little, say one or two notches, you can
get more life out of the battery.  It is true, the batteries don't last
too terribly long.  I ran mine down in about 2-3 days of use.
Overall though, I like it, but that is just my opinion and my .02.

Jeff Kirkland
