Palm can offer most of these.

Kodak has a product for this.

I know of at least one web browser for Palm, and that is HandWeb.
Handweb can indeed view HTML. There is also AvantGo!, but that is web
clipping.

>it can read word and excel data

In theory, this could be done, if the file were small enough and a
program were written to do it.

>it can listen to mp3

The devices made by Palm can't do this, but the compatible Handspring
Visor can, with the appropriate hardware module.

>it can be used to carry and view photos and avi

Palm can't view long AVIs, but it can view photos. 

>it can use GPS

Palm most certainly can use GPS.

>in Fact, can anyone tell me any advantage of palm over wince?

Manufactured in America, designed in Silicon Valley, simpler and more
responsive OS.
