Basically my Pocket PC holds everything I need to remember (and for someone with a crap memory like mine it's freakin awesome).

I dunno about the rest of you but I started out using a Palm but when that got old I got myself a Pocket PC in the form of an Acer n321 (upgraded n311). God, that thing rocked and I used it so much it started to fall apart lol.

Now I have a HP iPaq 214 Enterprise and other than a bug in the thing that made it think it had 0% battery when it was fully charged is now running perfectly and I love the thing. It's also got a bigger screen (not much bigger than the Acer but feels loads bigger to me).

Because of this I have to take say Microsoft were right when they said "They tend to get things right on the third try" and damn they sure did.

Here is a link to the launch info for the Pocket PC...

So, do any of you gamers use PDA's and what do you use them for. For me it keeps all my appointments and loads and loads of eBooks. For gaming I tend to get guides downloaded to the PDA to find those irritating, hard to find, items in the game (like the last missing intel piece in MW2 that was in the snow race part). As it plays YouTube vids I can watch them on the PDA and then do it myself on the big screen.

i would classify the droid as a computer. it can do ****ing everything and hold all your important shit neo lol. they call it a phone but it does just as much as my moms netbook, outside of the whole internet sharing thing... and im sure this can, i just need to find the right app

I do a lot of ebook reading, Tubbz.... the PDA's bigger screen makes them more readable than a phone size screen. It's a 4" screen seems way bigger than a 3.7" screen the Droid uses (my Acer n321 had a 3.7" screen and you should see the difference with them side by side).

The Droid looks hella sexy though... but this is rather offputting...
