Well the 'REAL" difference is that the Pocket PC has color screen, screen
size is larger, and multimedia. But a HandSpring (palm) can do what ever the
CE device can do other that what I wrote above. And another thing, the
Pocket PC hase more Programs in rom, ie., pocket word, pocket excel,
etc...But if ya go with Palm get a handspring. The springboard makes it more
versitile than Palm. More for your money I think. :-)  Happy shopping.
