I've had about 5 Palms and 2 PPCs.

Since my work moved to Exchange Outlook, I'm back to PPC.

One thing I notice in the PPC world is the variety of devices.

I would like to select a HP iPaq but not sure which one is recommended by the "experts".

Good battery life is very important to me
Small size is also important (don't like the biggest iPaqs) to me
Price is not a concern

Can anyone recommend which model would be best for me?

Can you give us a better idea of the features you need?

For example, do you need VGA resolution (480x640) or is QVGA (240x320) enough? Do you need WiFi and/or Bluetooth? Do you need WM2003SE or is WM2003 enough?

The smallest "power" iPAQ, by far, is the iPAQ 4150. However, it's not the from the latest generation of iPAQs, so it doesn't have all of the latest features. It does have Bluetooth, WiFi, and is very small, though. Battery life is decent unless you use WiFi heavily.

Yeah, the 4155 is one of the best iPAQ ever made. Tiny, fast, WiFI AND BT and looks good.

If VGA isn't important (if it is, the iPAQs are out of the question because the hx4700 is a bit big), see if you can get one. Still a good handheld.
