MarkMeerkat,

I was a Palm user. Matter effect, I am not a Microsoft fan. Even though microsoft technology is what keeps me employeed. I got my Axim PPC for christmas. It took some getting used to over Palm. But I can tell you I will never go back. Right out the box the PPC does 10x more then the Palm. As far as software goes. I have found everything that I have needed and more. This thing has gotten me to do more with a handheld then I orginally planned. THere is so much free software as well, it is surprising. I have never been a fan of Grafiti (as you can tell I can't even spell it). The handwriting recognition is much better. Especially after you get the screen protectors. One major flaw I have found is cost. However, it has so many gadgets you can get that I never seen for mid-lower end Palms. Matter of fact, I have a 615. If you use a microsoft OS you will probably enjoy the compatiablity with the software you already use. And alot of things are similar to the desktop and doesn't take much to learn. I got the biggest kick out of word completion. It really speed up my inputs into the thing. I never seen that for Palm. Not to say it doesn't exists. Also the XScale, in my opinion is overkill for the current PPC. Which meand it will be around for a while if microsoft supports in the next PPC release. Which I heard through the grapevine the 615 won't be upgradable to the next Palm OS.
