i’ve finally tinkered enough with the pocket pc sdk that i figured it was time to buy one of them.<\/p>\n

i’m interested in porting over some flash stuff to use with pocket pc as well as track some mini database apps with it – anyone want to give me the money for ms sql ce license fee.<\/p>\n

it was a battle between form factor vs. my accountant. LOL. these things are not cheap.<\/p>\n

seriously though, it came down to audiovox maestro, viewsonic v35, toshiba e335, sony nx70v and the dell axim. then i narrowed it down to the viewsonic v35, toshiba e335 and the dell axim. then toshiba e335 and dell axim. dell won out ‘buy’ $100 – hehe. i gave into my accountant. with a coupon for 15% online web purchase and a $50 rebate – i couldn’t resist.<\/p>\n

well, i won’t go too much into detail about all the little nuances with each of these . there are many, many websites<\/a> and opinions that espouse this feature or that. one thing that won me over was what i learned in the few minutes i spent standing in the middle of the mall with dell’s version of the ‘trekky pad’. talk about looking like a geek. anyways, a lot of people have mainly complained that “it’s too big” or “it’s too heavy”. after holding it and checking out the features for a while, for me, it’s perfect. it truly isn’t that much bigger then the compaq line of crappy devices.<\/p>\n

ultimately these things are like cars – partially up to personal taste. now i would have picked the sony (revolutionary form factor but shame on them for bastardising<\/a> the memory stick line) but the palm OS isn’t as refined as I would like it to be. the uberdesign folks at apple have decided not to do a pocket “pc” so i’ll work with what is left (of course apple’s new mini-sub-nano-notebook g4 looks really promising –mini-me<\/a>)<\/p>\n

i’ll put up an update once it comes in the mail.
