PocketMatrix

I say get neither. Both are going to be discontinued, and both have their quarks (I would choose the e200 over the jornada personly, but that's just because I am one of the few people who seemed to have had a good expereance with it). Instead, wait for the XScales to get wince.net. I just read that MS has optimized the os for the XScale (source:www.pocketnow.com). So, if you have the money for a jornada now, and are willing to wait about a month (that's my eta since I have yet to read anything specific) then you could probably save up the remainder needed for the XScale. If you want, you could get one of those cheaper arms (I think it's the audivox, not sure), and then, when the wince.net upgrade comes out, sell your arm for an xscale.

Personly, since arms will soon be in the same boat that mips is now (speed, not compat wise (I predict in 6-9 months) I would not spend too much for a good arm. So, I guess my choice is the audivox untill WinCE.net comes out.


(note: wasn't there one similar to the audivox but it had 64megs ram and was like $50 more?)

It is hard to predict how it will really turn out, but if you are certain you want to buy a pda now then choose what best suites you. In the end that is really what counts. Maybe the JOrnada 568 works for one ,but not for you, so play with boht and choose the one that feels comfortable in your hand, meets your need and wants, and is you:)
A pda is an extensions of who you are so remember that:)
I dont know what will really be the case for the strong arm, I know there is plenty of software, and if/when the price does drop that only means more people will be buying the strongarm. It will be more than enough for most people:) The Xscale is still needing the OS software to get more out of it to the msot and I feel the current prices just dont justify. Every person must make their own decision:)

pretty soon I'm sending in my casio E-200 to be refurbished. after it's back I think I will sell it in favor of a newer device. feel free to make me an offer on it.
