    Another thing to consider is that HP handelds are reasl guzzlers, a fact that is more important than most people realise.

    One of the major reasons why I chose the Handspring was the fact that I can get up to a month between battery changes. THis means less chance of losing my data if I'm away from my home computer for a week or so. (The downside is that it uses AAA alkalines, so it's not as green as I'd like).

    Unless HP, Casio and Microsoft address these issues, I'm sticking with Palm-based handhelds.
