who needs that much in a calculator? i mean sounds ok for an entry level pda, but do you need that much? maybe they're trying to capture the calculator gaming world (who's played hick quest on their Ti83)
FranklinCovey will be carrying these around christmas(just in time eh?) or so i've been told. they are also the first developers, excepting M$, to program specifically for this platform. price should be around $2k, and a docking unit will be available for keyboard and mouse input.
and many people get annoyed at it, but look at it this way: you're taking an online course, living on campus. every time you try to access your class, the network is flooded with puds dling pr0n and music, and you're left with a "cannot load page" message. SUWG does it, along with countless campuses around the country, and many people got annoyed (even one of the guys on the newspaper) but i'm all for it.
different people want different things as far as PDA's go...some just want an overblown address book, some want voice recording/playback, some want all the bells and whistles...having sold many myself at FraknlinCovey(shameless plug), i can tell you that most people who know they need one, spend way more money than necessary, on gadgets and crap they'll never use.
look at the Palm brand PDA's, people love them, but see them as below handspring, and many people with visors, don't use the attachments beyond a memory card and the occational GPS user...Sony is right up there with the Clie, but the proprietary memory stick, can't be used in anything but sony products, where CF and SD/MM cards are used commonly in cameras and cross platform applications. that's just a few, but you get the point.
now for pocket PC's(i.e. the bells and whistles). the ipaq and jornada are the frontrunners in this domain. jornada for the cheap, ipaq for the extragovant. features are about equal(voice recording, IR, pocketPC2002, mp3/mpeg playback, blah blah blah), but casio is overlooked for these more well known names. true, in the past they've put out some real shite, but the EM-500(newest undetermined model) has more features onboard than the equally priced ipaq 3835, including SD and CF slots, but do you need them?
my point is, go somewhere and ask what's available, tell them what you want and they'll tell you where to find it. if it's not out, save yourself a buck or two, and get something to tide you over till what you want is out.
