I recentley graduated high school and have been given a bunch of graduation money.
I was given quite a bit by my grandparents, who told me to go out and buy something and not save it. I have a pretty good computer, so I really do not want to buy a laptop just yet for college. However, I was looking at getting a Pocket PC. After looking over all the various models, I think the Dell Axim looks like the best deal. The college I will be attending also has WiFi spots everywhere, so it would be cool to get a card (onsale at CompUSA this week, too!)
But, I do want to get something practical. Will this just turn into an overpriced Game Boy? I will be attending Georgia Tech, so I will take a lot of math / science courses. I would get a keyboard to type with, but much of the time I see myself writing down math notation. Sure you have the stylus, but wouldn't pen and paper almost be easier?
Does anyone here at college use there PPC frequentley for non-gaming purposes?
