ipod vs pda?
Wel there are a few things to consider:

1. like my poster above said battery power, an ipod can have better battery life. (however, with a good configurated pda you can get more than 3 hours of playback, im getting about 10 hours on my standard dell 1100mah battery pack)
also, you cant replace an ipods battery....(and if you look around pda batterys arent really that expensive)

2. functionality, I think the ipods interface is shit, i have 600 songs on my nano and sometimes it can get really frustating browsing your files (this is my opinion.... you might like it....).
anyways for the pocketpc are a whole lot of mp3 players available... and they are customizable anyway you like.
Also the ipod can just play music (and the ipod video ofcorse video but.... very crappy imo) while with a average pocketpc model you can get more functionality thanyour brain can handle :) (internet, very good organizer cool games etc etc)

3. size... altough the ipod video is about the same size of smaller ppc's, you can still say that the ipod beats ppcs on this one (i have a nano for when i train, and my axim for everything else...)

4. price... a pocketpc with 20 gb > ipod in price ;)

5. for the sound quality.... wel, i think my ax + iplay has better sound than my ipod nano...... but hey.. you really gotta test that yourself cuz everyone likes something else...

hmm now im too tired too write anything else :P hope this helps ya a bit
grtz
