I have been looking into replacing my PDA which is starting to die, but haven't found the ideal product yet.

What I want:
- small size.
- good battery life.
- high-resolution screen.
- virtual graffiti area.
- lots of RAM (at least 32MB).
- possibly color screen.
- Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth if possible.
- date book with timezone support.

I am a long-time PalmOS fan, so I will probably stick with that.

Is a keyboard a good or a bad thing? I have the feeling that it is useless and may even be a pain. There is a [[news:9342cef7.0304231138.587ff8be@posting.google.com][thread in comp.sys.palmtops.pilot]] about whether a keyboard is good or bad.

The PDAs I owned were[1]:
- [[http://www.palm.com/support/palm3/][Palm III]]
- [[http://www.sonystyle.com/vaio/clie/peg_s300_index.htm][Sony Clié PEG-S300]]
- [[http://www.sonystyle.com/micros/clie/models/360.html][Sony Clié PEG-S360]]

The current candidates (as of May 2003) are:
- [[http://www.palm.com/products/handhelds/tungsten-t/][Palm Tungsten T]]; issue: only 16MB of RAM.
- [[http://www.palm.com/products/handhelds/tungsten-c/][Palm Tungsten C]]; issue: keyboard and no graffiti area.

I made the jump and got a Tungsten C. See PalmTungstenCee for my notes about it.
