Comment Why I gave up on both: apathy. (Score 1) 295
I started with a Palm III and then went to the Palm VII (it was free). Nice, easy-to-use PDAs but that's about it. So, I gave the Pocket PC a try.
I used to even be a reviewer for Pocket PC Thoughts. After 2 Pocket PCs and a couple of years, I gave up. I got tired of always carrying a device around. I also don't make enough money to keep up with the latest trends.
Honestly, have you looked at the prices of Pocket PCs and Palms lately? Ridiculous! Besides, I sit at a PC all day at work, why would I want to surf the web on a 4 inch screen? It also gets tough to sit back and watch new and better software come out that I can't use. Hardware is even worse. I tried a Bluetooth GPS receiver. What a pain. I sold it and bought a handheld Garmin which I love.
So, for me, apathy won out.
