sup everyone,

Ive decided its time to get a PDA or whatever they are called now. I definetly want one that uses microsoft's os.
what i really need tho is something that has a built in wireless lan card, or maybe one where you can add it at an inexpensive price. email is a must. aim maybe if possible? also how do webpages work on these things.. if it even does cause im kinda clueless

any suggestions?

Go to Best Buy and get some hands on with a few of the units. I only know of one that has a built in wireless support and I believe it is by Toshiba. It is pretty slick. Some of the newer Compaq and Dell versions are affordbly priced at $199. You can surf the web, do email and even instant message.

just went there today

had a crappy selection except for a nice toshiba which was 499$ after rebate.. im thinking about that one

also, HP releasing a Ipaq for 699$ but it has alot of extra useless stuff like bluetooth and a thermal fingerprint scanner.. it would be nice if they had a cut down version of that..

otherwise, im still looking and it aint freaking fun

almost forgot about this topic :)

ive decided on the ATI all in wonder RADEON 9700 PRO 128MB card.. but since it is 400$ im gonna wait on it alittle

reason i decided to go for this one is that im gonna start getting into more serious video/film editing.. and ive been told this is a good choice for the money
