hello, i've been an iPaq user for more than a year now... the device is neat... it has a lot of potentials... i'd recommend it to anyone who wants to explore those potentials (e.g. full web browsing, CF cards, Bluetooth, wireless networking, etc...) but if you are not planning to go beyond the basic PDA function then it would be a waste of your money... if money is the issue and you're just going to use basic PDA functions and run some calculation programs, stick to the "most basic" Palm device... if "coolness" is the issue, they have that new Jordan Palm coming out... :)
