>>Micrsoft's PDA software will be as good as any What makes you so sure? MSFT is keeping its source code proprietary. How can they possibly compete against an open source Palm OS that already has 85% market share? Palm has thousands of independent software developers competing to write code for this exploding platform. MSFT will struggle valiantly to extend their domain from desktop to PDA and should continue to improve on CE, but I doubt they will ever achieve market share parity with Palm OS. Psion's Symbian is one to watch as well. BTW, which PDA did you end up buying? I bought a Palm IIIc last week. It has more intelligence per ounce than any device I've ever owned and I've owned many. (The HP LX100 I have used since 1992 died last week due to a component failure which caused a short on the motherboard.) (disclosure: long COMS)
