Pretty sure I'll be coming over to the dark side with an ASUS A730w or Dell Axim X50v.

Here's my questions:

1. What's the best MS Office suite software to use on the PocketPC platform and how much it will cost to rival what Dataviz Documents to Go v7 (pre-installed on T5) does (supports formatting and native office file formats, including PowerPoint).

Palm enthusiasts have long complained about the PocketPC operating system being more difficult to use than the PalmSource OS. Yet I know there are hacks that (completely?) address some of these issues:

2. Alarms. What are the fixes, remaining problems?

3. Applications minimizing instead of closing.

4-8. What else do I need to know (buy?) to make a successful transition to the PocketPC OS?

9. Is the PPC OS stable or should I expect lots of soft or hard resets?

10. Biggest draw for me is showing off VGA baby pictures in a relatively small form factor (not to mention WiFi). With this in mind, is there any software out there that will allow me to quickly transform multiple subdirectories of 4 MP pictures into downsized VGA pictures? I don't want to reformat each picture one at a time.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
