What is it you want to do on the device? Based on that info, I can better give you ideas.
No worries, I am a user only, with minimal savvy beyond the obvious.

I would like the following Holy Grail of PDAs:

- All common data that exists on the laptop: Email (ability to file email on the mothership, delete and clean as well), calendar, contacts, etc.
- Ability to sync with mothership.
- Workable viewing of Power Point Briefs, excel spreadsheets and MS Word. Some ability to edit same.
- Good human factors on data entry.
- Ability to surf the web, focused on travel emergencies, so access to airline websites, weather, hotel and rental car websites. Pelican would be a bonus (for me, anyway).
- Long battery life, at least three hours constant use.
- Phone.

What I do not need:

- I don't take music with me nor do I need video. Pics of the kids would be nice.

BTW, I'm not completely ignorant, I just have little interest in riding the crest of the tech wave...unless, of course I need help
