Pocket PC vs. Palm Showdown

Posted by timothy on from the but-but-but-zaurus dept.

Espectr0 writes "TuxTops has a small review comparing the Pocket PC handhelds against the Palm ones (no pun intended), with advantages and disadvantages of each. The conclusion? If you are after gaming, multimedia, good WiFi+Bluetooth support, a lot of accessories and versatility, go with Pocket PC. If you are after small and stylish devices with good battery life, simple interface and simple PIM apps, go with PalmOS."

    The conclusion? If you are after gaming, multimedia, good WiFi+Bluetooth support, a lot of accessories and versatility, go with Pocket PC. If you are after small and stylish devices with good battery life, simple interface and simple PIM apps, go with PalmOS.

    The conclusion? If you want everything, go wih Pocket PC. If you think less is more, go with PalmOS.

    I had a very nice $600 pocket pc - the Cassiopeia. It was (and still is) a great device.

    So, you gave up the superior device for your needs because of the Group Think? You are a sheep? If the Pocket PC suits your needs better, do you now find your productivity lower? Otherwise, maybe you only thought the PC was better? Do you really know what you think? Or are you a flavor of the day Socialist? Do you rent or own your house? I bet you rent.

    Apparently it has to be said in 25 different ways before you get it.
