The Palm is a very basic PDA that does an excellent job for what it does.
Since most people get PDAs to keep track of appointments, store names and
addresses, etc., Palms have a huge market share.  Most models will accept a
modem for e-mail, and the VII will allow you to surf the Web, if you live in
an area that has wireless service.

If you are buying a PDA to surf the Net, then a CE model might be the way to
go.  Unfortunately, I've played with one, and they are difficult to use, due
to their miniscule keyboards and small screens, although the OS is similar
to Windows 9x.  You are far better off buying a lightweight notebook, unless
you just have to be able to cram the thing in your pocket.

I have a Palm V and love it.  You really have to decide what you want to do
with it, and then buy a model that will fill those needs.

For info on all models just go to their respective Web sites, or go to
Amazon and read the customer reviews.
