What's your price range?  I have an HP PDA, 1.5 years old but barely used.  Total waste of money on my part, since I never carry it around with me.  :P  It comes with a mini-version of MS Outlook that you can install on your computer, a docking cradle, but does not have Internet.

That's why I like the PDA/Phone combo. I almost always have it with me. That way I have phone, camera, Internet, and all the PDA stuff.

I'm really thinking of getting the HTC Touch Pro (http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=14590), coming out Dec 1st.

An Ipaq? I got mine 2.5 years ago. Second best money I ever spent. Changed my life forever.

edit: oh. if your's doesn't have internet it's not the same thing. I have wireless access.

the $95 I used to buy the tablet PC from my company that people see me with at Social Sundays sometimes. In fact I'm using it right now.

I have one that needs a battery. And software and a cable if you want to hook it up to a laptop. It's a Palm. I think you can download the software using the serial number of the pda.

A PDA and phone would solve a lot of your problems. :)

Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to give a negative review of the ipaq.  My point was that it was a waste of money for me, personally, because I never actually carry the thing with me and look at it.  Just one of those modern gadgets I felt I had to have cuz all the other kids were doing it. I find that keeping Outlook running on the PC to which I am umbilically attached, and making myself actually look at it in the morning, does just as well for reminding me what event(s) are scheduled for the day.

It was intentional that I got one without internet access.  24/7 mobile internet access and we might as well say byebye to Friday's meatspace counterpart.   :wave:   :nerd:
