Again I'm thinking of getting some sort of pocket PC/PDA thingummy. I have a filofax, but it can't be backed up and it won't beep at me to remember to do things. Yes, I can get into the habit of using it, but this lasts for a few weeks and then goes out the window again because it's too big to carry around with me all the time (and small ones are too small for me to write down everything. I'm doing a music degree and two jobs).

There are loads of them on eBay but I'm not sure what to get. I want something that can sync happily with Purr, my Win98 laptop.

I'd be very interested in a PDA that also has a sensible amount of memory and acts as an mp3 player, since I've been hankering after an mp3 player for a while.

Recommendations?


I'd kindof rather have a spinning wheel. But yeah. Maybe for my birthday.

I've been very happy with various varieties of Palm over the years. Palm got the basics for a PDA down very well, and the core software (calendar, todo lists, memos, contacts) has barely changed since the early versions. This means you can pick up nice old models for cheap, or go up to shiny new things. I'm currently using a Treo 600, which doubles as phone and MP3 player.

I second that. I used an palm III in the old days of win98 and as long as the batteries lasted it was great. Never palms have fixed that problem and have enough storage for MP3's.
