    CEO wants a new palm pilot -need advice

    The big guy wants a new palm pilot ........ it doesn't need to be a PALM PILOT , just that's what he calls them all.

    Requirements:
    Color Display...... long battery life ........ Outlook compatibility And of course ....price is no object.

    What should I buy him?????

    Get him a Compaq iPaq. It comes with Windows CE and is lovely for boneheads and Mac converts.

    Tell him it's a personal decision and go buy his own. If it doesn't work right you'll never hear the end of it.

    Jeepers, it's hard to understand how some people get paid for advice like this.

    Thanks everyone............ you too jmichna ........... looks like the IPAQ 3870 would be a good choice.

    I guess the Etch-A-Sketch would be a little too advanced

    I'd go for the iPaq 3970 with the intel Xscale processor at 400 Mhz, should be faster then the 3800 series which has an intel strongarm at 206 Mhz.
    Has better screen compared to the 3800 series and has bluetooth and stuff.
    Win XP Pro SP3
    AMD Athlon 64 5000+ Black edition
    2 Gb DDR2 Transcend Ram (2x 1 Gb)
    Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3

    Peak Radeon HD3870
