Laptops rule. Ive been away for four month from home and all I use my Jornada 540 for is as an alarm
clock. At a garage sale I picked up an alarm clock for a whole dollar!!! My Jornada does not even
play back mp3s or videos(the pocketpc 2000 users got left holding the bag(mine cost me a thousand dollars)
besides almost being practically useless it only wowed a few people. Although my palm zire 31(32?) was
cool(I left it home) with kinoma it could play back videos(cartoon shows, but the display was lacking
to say the least. All pdas should have at minimum vga displays as well as mass storage for video. I personally love the form factor of pdas. I have complained about lack of mass storage since the nino
was introduced( I have one as well as the old palms) There should have been an extra usb port on the
device since inception to allow it to use external harddrive. I mean the pda has a fairly powerefull
cpu buy yesterdays standard. Most non geek people will not touch pdas but they love the ipods, I cant
understand it. The same thing with people that like harleys compared to the latest sport bike. (ok so that was off topic a little bit. I hope the companies hang in there and spend more money on r &d
to come up with better pdas. The new phones are awfull cool. anyways things change
things change things change
