Upgrading from my antiquated and ailing Garmin iQue 3600 to a Pocket PC-based Dell Axim X5.  I’m completely sick of my battery failing on me on the iQue, which is particularly important during meeting when taking notes. And I don’t want to take the risk that the thing is going to glitch on me while driving in some unfamiliar area with the GPS.  A friend of mine hooked me up with a great deal that I couldn’t pass up, so here I am.

So far, I like Windows Mobile a LOT better than Palm OS.  Obviously, as a fairly recent Mac convert, I don’t care for MS as much as the next guy.  What really matters in the end is the quality of the product, and PocketPC seems like the best mobile OS at the time.  Apple may come out with some nifty gadget next year, but for now this Axim is great.
