Perfect for receiving email attachments and light work. Never for serious work. If I know I am going to need access to a spreadsheet for a real work session, the laptop comes with me.

Sort of highlights the inadequacy of Excel Mobile, doesn't it?  Although the Pocket PC contains "pocket" versions of Office applications, there's still room for improvement if these mobile Office applications are to become true on-the-go solutions for document and spreadsheet editing/viewing. |
To me it highlights teh inadequacy of the PDA as a platform for the type of work I do. PlanMaker doesn't cut it either. Only full blown Excel would work for me, and that just doesn't make sense on a PDA. |
