As a fact:<br><br>The PalmOS is the most powerful OS for handheld computers. The other side is, it's far far away<br>from the magical word 'Multimedia'.<br><br>The prices for a handheld Computers with PalmOS<br>are toooo high!<br><br>Here (in Germany!) the Palm m505 costs about <br>1200DM (600€, 560$, ..however).<br><br>For more compatibility, WinCE devices are more responsible! Ever worked with a spreadsheet on<br>a palm ? [I did,....and it ain't funny!]<br><br>So, the most reason for NOT to buy a WinCE device might be the Microsoft-Way!<br>I mean...I'm with you WinCE users (as I am one<br>of you for a few weeks!) but don't you want that<br>much free software for your PDA as you could have<br>for a PalmOS based handheld???<br><br><br>However: These platforms are too different in their kind to say 'one is better than the other'!<br><br>I used a Palm (IIIx), I loved it, it felt down to the floor and broke - actually the display did - <br>now I've bought a Compaq IPaq H-3630!<br><br>And people like Yagger should be banned to a Microsoft Newsgroup! <br>(sorry to all microsoft-fans!)<br><br>Linux-forever!<br><br>Lx
