Default Palm rulez, im convinced.

I bought myself a Clie personal entertainment organiser today.
Never owned a Palm device before.
I blame this site.

I used to be a palm owner too.... until I read a local anti-M$ "M$-can-never-do-anything-right" magazine say that PocketPC beat hands down Palm OS.

A CLIE is simply a Palm that is trying to be a PPC with a series of workarounds that the OS was not orignally designed for.

I've always had two palms... just never could get the data to stay on them for long. :twisted:

Clie T 425.
It was only 199€ (in comparison the Zire costs 121€ over here) so I tought hey why not.
Palm OS 4.1 and has the Sony consumer level Remote control software with it.
Playing around with it I really wanted Sony to make a PPC device.
The build quality is awesome.

I can see myself getting a nice Palm OS machines when they become available or maybe even the Zire 71, if the Multimedia capabilities would be up to par with PPC machines.
Still prefer PPC tough, but man resolution is really hampering it IMO, especially considering the 3.8 inch full VGA screens I saw on CE.net machines in Japan.

Having purchased a Tungsten T last month, I can say that the fonts on this device and the Clie' series are MUCH better then on any PPC. 320x320 is the way to go. PPC have to drop the half VGA spec. It sucks for fonts. Frankly I would buy one of the Sony NX series, except for the damn memory stick. I really hope that workaround for regular CF cards ends up being a competent solution.
