PocketPC's were useless, up till about amonth ago. (Score 2, Interesting)

It seems it took pocketpc's a few years to go through enough iterations to become useful. Over the past month a couple have come out that make them borderline useful. The one I'm going to get is the HTC Universal (http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000777057087/). It seems to have decent battery life, can play music/video, has wifi/bluetooth/3g connectivity, can edit office docs, pick up e-mail, and play games quite reasonably. The storage is SD cards, which are now up to 4GB, which is starting to get useful now were counting in GB's. The only downside is it can't act as a USB host - then I could plug in my ipod and use it as extra storage :). The best thing is they're going on cheap mobile contracts for no more than a 3g phone...
