I use a Palm Vx, and I find it excellent. The main two features that I use are the ability to sync e-mail and calendars with my desktop system, so I have an up to date agenda with me at all times, and I can view and respond to e-mail, whilst on a train plane etc. There are also a number of programs such as airline schedules, information databases that can be downloaded from the internet, which can be very useful. There is a Palm VII in the US that has access to the internet, which opens up the scope of the PDA, enabling you to book flights, hotels etc. This is not available in Europe yet, but given the likely advances in 3G mobiles, I think that this will be likely in the near future. In europe there is the possibility of accessing the internet via Avantgo.com or similar, but this is done by effectively downloading web pages to your palm through your desktop for viewing remotely, so this is not quite as good as an actual connection. Hope this is useful. (Oh and you can also get some cool games too, if thats your bag)
