What PDA's are you using?
ok, and Fran i know you're using a Newton.
so for the rest of you folks, what PDA's do you use on a daily basis and what do you think of them?
i'm in the market for a PDA, and i'd like something that has bluetooth, and that works well with Macs. i don't follow this market very carefully though, so any advice would be appreciated.

if you want built-in bluetooth, I recommend you get the new TG-50.

Although I don't really use it; I can't get it to sync with iSync, and I don't want to spend the money for batteries. At least it was free
You can have it if you want. Maybe.
Well, I've been looking and waiting for a while now, and now I'm about to buy a Palm Tungsten. If I was looking for a cheaper model without voice memo recording, I'd definitely go with a new Sony CLIE SJ22.
The Sony TG50 and Tungsten both have BlueTooth. If you prefer Graffiti, lean toward the Tungsten. If you prefer a keyboard (implemented in a way which makes Graffiti somewhat inconvenient), go with the Sony. The TG50 is thinner and the Tungsten is lighter and shorter. Neither is perfect.

so i think this year i'll buy a new one with more functionality. (i've been looking at sony, i haven't looked at the new palms yet)
the danger with syncing the wifes palm with your computer is enormous. (conflicts galore) work phone numbers become home numbers etc. so i only sync when i have alot of time on hand.
Good Luck with your search.
Note: The new Sony TG50 is a sweet package. OS5 definately rocks. If I had the wifes permission to spend a little more, I would of definately got this one.
Hopefully when I upgrade computers, at some point I'll also upgrade PDAs.
i have a palm iiix, but the internal battery is shot, so if the replaceable batteries get too low, bye-bye data. since it is therefore unreliable, i don't use it very much at all. at least i bought it cheap and used, so it's not a huge loss.
Okay, so I haven't used it as steadily as I used to, but I'll get the SmartMedia adapter and wireless working RSN, I swear.
Don't think I will be upgrading to a better PDA any time soon.
altough I don't use it as often as I did once...
But I think I will be soon looking for a PDA with wider screen and more memory : I am fed up with truncated names on my buddy list and I found I used more ebooks than what I originally thought. Maybe a Clié...
It's my first PDA and it got me hooked : if only I had more money (I have my TiBook getting old now...), I will go for the Tungsten.
i'll post back when i've finally picked one.
I decided to go the PalmOS 5 route, so I ordered a Clie TG-50. Mostly for the built-in keyboard and Bluetooth.
palm=the best
Better than virtually all Palm OS based fo rmuch less $$$. Caveat: does not sync with Mac without 3rd party tool.
...But I changed all that for a P800! Woot. Can't wait for iSync to support it.
This thing goes everywhere with me. I wish I could justify buying a 2100. Then I could use ethernet with it (my 120 can only use a modem). For it's age, the Newton still amazes me.
