hi i have been using a Sony Clie n760c (that's right...a palm os) for almost a month now. when i first got it, i thought it was the greatest man made thing on earth! this was before the omnipotent light of ppc was shed upon me. before i purchased the clie, i debated for a very long time whether to go with a palm os platform or a ppc platform. i finally went with the palm os reassuring myself with grandiose thoughts of ease of use and great battery life. however, i have checked out some of my friends' ppc, and they are just too damn great. now i regret having spent the hefty $400 for a palm os platform (which would have been enough to get me an ipaq 3650!!). i now plan on switching to ppc (hooray!). but i am again faced with difficult choices. i don't know what ppc i should go with. i need something fairly small to carry around, play movies cleanly, great gaming abilities, supports 65k colors, BRIGHT screen that parallels (almost parallels) the ipaq 3835, costs around $400.00 and that supports cf or sd built in. i am leaning towards the new casio e-200 becuase of its integrated cf AND sd slot and bright screen. any other suggestions? anyone hav a ppc they willing to trade for a less than month old sony clie n760c w/box instructions and everything else that came with it and a 64mb magic gate memory stick in addition to the 8mb that comes with it, and a 3 in 1 pentopia clie chameleon stylus? email me at layjiboiee@aol.com

It will be a looooong time before somebody here wants your Clie...<br>But about the PPC, the new ones are all great, so it's a tough decision. Anyone of them will make you smile when you turn them on. I would stay with the E-200, but that's me.<br>Good shopping. :)

I think that for that the E-200 gets first prize.

E-200 is said to have the best screen next to the Compaq 3800 series. Both are very good. I can only speak for the E-200, because I have only used the 3800 once. The E-200 has wonderful screen. As for video playback, expect benchmarks in my review on both playing MPEG1, DIVX, and FPS benchmarks on Quake. None of those benchmark programs that measure the speed on functions that us gamers/multimedia people dont use;)
