Which of the new PocketPC's do all of you want to get? I'm stuck between the Casio and the Compaq. I'm leaning towards Compaq with it's bigger screen and built in bluetooth. Although it is $50 more. So, what one are you peeps planning on buying?

ipaq because the only thing the casios had going for them was the design and now they fucked that up... the ipaqs are a little better now that they changed the button slightly. <br><br>what the hell is that big black thing, at the top of the device for?!

Moose, you ruled out the HP 568? I think I would have to have the three of them in my hands to choose one.

I have an hp 568 in my hands and I'm very satisfied I've made the right choice. Being used to a Jornada 548, the changes are amazing. This device also turned a die-hard Palmer into a pocket PC reseller. This device is also converting a palm company to the pocket pc.<br><br>Now I was purchasing the 568 regardless. I have the keyboard, camera, modem and wireless lan card, so I'm tied to the HP line. Nonetheless, this is a solid machine.<br><br>James

That's a bit too much for my taste. Not even my 3670 iPAQ has a single speck. I hope they fix this in later models.

It isn't that noticable nor does it affect anything.<br><br>James

I know. With most of the old iPAQs it's the same. But I'm kind of a perfectionist, you know. ;)

I want the USB host support with the new Casio.

Well it all really depends on the accessories to me, I guess.<br>JoeBung, the Casio's USB Host capabilities means that it has two USB ports in the cradle so that the cradle doesn't take up any USB ports, it actually gives you two extra. Even with hardware there is no way you could plug a USB device into the Casio. USB Host does not mean what you think it means.<br><br>The iPaq comes with that Sega Games Pack on the CD, and I'm a HUGE Sega fan. But the iPaq's design is "UGLY!" (Bubba Sparxx starts to rap).<br><br>The Casio's look so much nicer than all the others. And I don't know what I'd due with iPaq's bluetooth. Is the Sega Game Pack available to buy somewhere (Mike)? <br><br>And yes, I am not counting the new Jornada's, they are not PPC2002 devices, just plain old PPC. I'm talking about the new PPC2002 devices.<br><br>Also, generally the response to a poll is a short one or two word answer, such as "iPaq" or "i like casio."
