I need a PDA. Help me find one.

[amnesiac]

We're getting so many new cases here at work I need a PDA to start keeping track of them all, not to mention my appointments, etc.

I would like one that I could sync with my Powerbook, plus I don't particularly like the size of most PocketPCs. I might be convinced to get one of the Toshibas since they are a lot slimmer.

- Multimedia capability (MP3s, movies, etc) is completely unimportant.
- Color screen necessary
- If it's a Palm, I'd prefer OS5
- I much like thumbpads instead of graffiti type input.

So far this has greatly narrowed my choices, I'm sure.

Right now I'm looking at the Sony Clie TG50. Other suggestions would be welcomed.

Zaurus with a barcode reader...

Sony Clie

Buy it from Dell, Staples, OfficeMax or OfficeDepot and use a coupon plus eBates.com for the most savings.

Barcode reader? WTF would I need that for?

 

[Kevin]

So you can tag everything and keep track of it all instantly...

I don't think he meant computer 'cases.'

hp iPAQ h1910!

That thing is the sweetest pda i have seen. You should run to a store and check it out. It's sooo small...

No thumb keypad, but that's definitely something to keep in mind.

Insurance firm. "Cases" is in reference to new clients or new policies. Jesus, you're an uber-nerd.

I'll def. check out an Ipaq. My worry about syncing to my Mac still stands though.

It would be cool to have everything tagged with a barcode. I was going to do it but got lazy. Not to mention I broke my CueCat when I painted the case...

I'd rather not buy something that I've never gotten to see in person.

You wouldn't want a thumb keypad anyways. Once you get use to whatever writing method you want to use, it's faster than using a thumb keypad.

I have the 1910, and it's sweet.

Yes I do. I had a Treo 300 and I could type like a madman on the thumbpad. I hate graffiti. It sucks my arse and is inaccurate and slow. If I end up with a keypad-less PDA I'm sticking my FITALY keyboard back on.

Wow, I love the Skoorb effect in here.

I DO NOT WANT AN AXIM, BECAUSE THEY ARE LARGE AND I WILL NOT GET A CHANCE TO TRY IT OUT BEFORE I BUY IT.
