Hi guys I'm new here


I'm looking for a new PDA (using an old Palm V):

What's the SMALLEST PocketPC with wi-fi & bluetooth?

I'll be using the PDA for:
* appointments
* calculating
* web browsing (obviously light use)
* mailing
* Skype (!)
* to do lists
* synching with my Mac


The iPaq 4150 looks nice but it's already 2 years old. Any new contender here or is the 4150 still king?

I think the Axim X30 is just slightly larger than the iPAQ 4150, and it has WM2003SE. It's still a 240x320 display, although that may be enough.

I believe the 4150 is the smallest and FYI it is just over a year old -- my "old" 2210 that I bought when they first came out isn't 2 years old yet and the 4150 followed the 2210 by several months. All that said, I wouldn't buy a 4150 now -- go with something running WM2003SE... like the Dell X30 or X50. More "bang for the buck" IMHO...

A small form factor is a definate must for me. A slight slower speed against the newest PDA is ok.

so the 4150 is more than 1 year old. Isn't it time to a succesor with same form factor & specs by now? Any news on this?

By the way, how does Skype perform on the 4150?

Works quite well over a WiFi connection. You do need to use headphones, or earbuds, or the feedback is horrendous. The built in mic is just fine.
