I'm on a first project to develop for the Pocket PC, that is browser based.

Are there handhelds to avoid because the WiFi is flakey?

Also want largest FONT for viewing.

TIA

What exactly do you need? A Pocket PC recommendation? If so, the Dell Axim X51v is a good device to work with (powerful device with VGA display and onboard GPU); the Wi-Fi isn't flakey at all. If you need a converged device (that is, one with phone functionality), then there are many that you can have a look at, though it really depends on what you're after (one with a QWERTY keyboard, one without, etc.).

As far as development is concerned, both offer Windows Mobile as a platform, so you shouldn't come across too many incompatibilities. Also, do check out the Windows Mobile emulator that Microsoft provides.

Thanks for that recommendation.

I looked at some HP models yesterday, and found it difficult to find a store with a brand outside of Palm.
