PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback Nice try to award Palm OS 5 as the winner! Lets hear more from Palm/WM2003 owners to post here but do not argue the way APPLE/Windows users always been! They are equally in everything but must have the difference between both OS to draw buyers for...

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback I used the Palm OS for six years and loved it. I now have a Dell Axim with Window Mobile 2003 and love it even more. Since my company is standardized on Windows XP and Office 2003, the new Axim meets and exceeds all my needs.

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback I recently purchased a PDA. Before doing doing that I read the reviews and went through all the message boards, most people seemed to say that the palm os is superior. So i got a palm and been very impressed.

Talkback PALM OS does not really allow to carry and sort many documents. Windows Explorer makes Windows Mobile the winner if you need to carry documents. RESCO EXPLORER is a fantastic explorer for Pocket PCs. It is rather messy.

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback A PDA *must* be easy to use! A PDA *must* fit into your life, not try to reshape your life to fit it! I've just learnt about the new Zire 72 from Palm.it answers most of the valid criticisms raised in this comparison.

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback Palm is like DOS while Windows CE looks much like a full scaled OS. What about the fact that Palm is not yet fully a multitaksing OS - ver.is but where we will see it on a real hardware? With Palm you need tricks to make something work in the...

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback If you want a paper weight, or at least to blow some money, there are better items to get than a PalmOS based PDA! The core applicaitons of the Windows CE OS are much better than the corresponding PalmOS applicaitons.

Talkback I think the article is rather good, no favorites and they pointed the right things on every platform. I mus tsay that this is one of the first unbalanced reviews I have read about PDAs for a long time.

Talkback Second, having used and supported both OS's I would have to say that if you use the Office Suite on your desktop, buy the Pocket PC. First of all, the difficulty you describe in opening programs in Pocket PC is not true.

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback I am currently using the Tungsten T and I find the Palm OS less cumbersome to use than the Pocket PC. I have used to both the Pocket PC and Palm systems, albeit only Pocket PC 2002 in an Ipaq. It also seems faster to open files with Palm as...

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback In using both the pocket PC and Palm for a long time, for my main stay is the Palm. It will work with more mail / contact systems, works with Microsoft seamlessly, and has a whole bucket full of addon applications ready to work.

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback I disagree as well with the direction this article took, to award the prize to Palm. Pocket PCs are inherently beefier, have more memory, and power than a Palm. The only way to beat a PocketPC with a Palm, is to turn a Palm into a PocketPC.

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback absolutely agree with the article.being a user of pocketPC 2002 and 2003, and Palm5, i must say while the pocketPC often can do more, the palm does what it does better.tungsten C can match almost any pocketPC for power and memory, has the easiest...

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback The PDA market is losing out to smartphones. It would have been an added advantage to the reader if the functionality of Palm would have been compared with Symbian.

PDA Prizefight: Palm OS 5 V Windows Mobile 2003
Talkback So if we compare apples with apples and include vendor specific add-ons, my Casio PDA has a button on the front that brings up a quick launch screen in which I can set up applications, folders - anything on my PDA.

Talkback hmm i'm stuck, i have had my IPAQ 1940 for nearly 3 years.i finally dropped it once too many, now its decision time, either get the Palm TX which seems to have everyhting i want it to do but, uses an OS i'm not familiar with, or go with what i...

Talkback Actually, they *did* compare the two fairly accurately. Consider: The Tungsten T5 which I just purchased will come with all the software mentioned - I'll be getting it for about $350 from ecost.com. If you want to consider the models which don't...

Talkback I was genuinely pleased with my Palm PDA - Sony Clie - but agree that having paid for applications to bring it up to required standard I'm not sure your comparisons are fair. Palm is v good but depends perhaps too much on 3rd party applications.
