    The only thing you need to worry about is which Palm OS-based item you go
    for.
    WinCE\PocketPC = bad (and I'm generally happy to push both Macs and PCs so
    I'm not doing this as an anti-MS thing)
    PalmOS = good

    ISP e-mail
    Network synch'ing
    Modem synch'ing
    All work and apart from when I've been foolishly tinkering with things have
    always worked. AvantGo is indespensible as a replacement for spending
    hundreds on magazines (though obviously not as tactile).

    Palms - everything in one. Most have a smaller form-factor. Inexpensive
    modems\cables to attach to phones
    (I was a relatively early adopter - Palm III modem and Nokia 5110 GSM.
    Surfed and sent e-mail throughout Europe.)

    Handsprings - expandable, groovier but modules can be expensive (you *know*
    that you'll end up buying an MP3 module simply because it's available).

    I lean towards a Palm simply because it'll stop me spending the extra
    £200-$300 on an MP3 module... but if I didn't care about that I'd get the
    colour Visor (can't remember it's name)... BUT I'm thinking of ditching my
    good old III and getting the colour Visor anyway.

    Oh, decisions, decisions
