    Os?

    Just out of curiosity, which OS brand do you prefer in a PDA, Palm OS or MS WinCE / Pocket PC OS?

    Why?

    I'm not asking it to turn into a debate like Intel Vs. AMD, just looking for imput .

    Thanx!

    I voted for palm. I think that my reason was price at the time I bought it. I haven't had any experience with ppc 2002 so I can't say whether I like it or not.

    Another vote for PalmOS.

    Since I use a PDA (Palm m100), and not a PocketPC, I want a faster OS with no bells, whistles and bright flashing lights. It foes what I need it for and then some. My favorite apps on there are Acrobat Reader, Desktop To Go (syncs with OutlookXP), AvantGo (news channels and such) and a few games.

    My choice came mostly from the fact that I worked in a medical environment before and physicians/pharmacists use PalmOS devices almost exclusively.

    Now, if I was in the market for a PocketPC to help me continue working in a bind, then Pocket Windows would be my choice.

    Currently, there are more applications available for the PalmOS platform, but if you'd like to find a recognizable Word, Excel or Outlook interface in color, Pocket Windows would be the way to go.

    Here's a vote for Pocket PC. I got a Compaq 3850 for my one year anniversary. Much more versatile than Palm, from what I've seen, though of course a bit less stable. I mainly just use mine for the NES emulator though so don't take just my word for it.

    Personally I like Windows and I like the Windows-like design. 'Tis true.
