Hey everyone, First of all thanks for taking the time to read this post!

I'm trying to get a grip on how to compare two mobile devices...

1st! IPAQ 116
Price I'm getting: 440dls (usa)

2nd! iTouch 16gb
Price I'm getting: 390dls (usa) -I'm getting lucky on this price-

Now, to be honest... If I could; Open, create and edit; Excel, word and powerpoint files on the iTouch. I wont be even considering it, I'd go for it. But since what I been told I wont be able to do any of those things, or even worst I can store files on the device (I'm a PC user, I kinda need a me//: folder) I'm getting scared I'll end up with a piece of metal I cant use to my everyday job. Or to study my pdfs or excels on a plane flight!

On the other side the lack of space to store files on the ipaq 116 its pretty much a big downside, not to mention the extreme easy of use of the iTouch vs the Ipaq. And last but not least, the last applications that were presented on that video of the iphone 2.0 is amazing, good stuff going on there. Besides the MobileMe service appeared to be really appealing.

To be honest, after checking zillions of websites, I'm totally lost!
I'm the kind of user that wants to check his email, surf the web and work on his files while I'm traveling (which is a lot ot time), stay up to date on the cool applications, etc.

Anyone had an experience with both devices that could share?
Or impressions about them?

Please drop a couple of lines with some feed back! :)

P.D; Sorry about the spelling, my english is a bit rusty.
