TinySheet and Docs-to-Go are virtually the same in their Excel handling capabilities. Tinysheet is less $$ as it is available strictly as an Excel emulator, whereas Docs-to-Go has MSWord, Excel, PowerPoint, and Email capabilites. If you were to go with the T/T you'd already have the DTG package.

As far as PPC2002 vs. PalmOS5.0...PPC is FAR morre powerful. The Axim has much more memory and can do much more, especially in the Multimedia arena.

The Axim is larger than the 1910 or the T/T. It's height is about that of an open Tungsten/T, but about 2x as thick. This allows the use of a CompactFlash (CF) memory card as well as a Secure Digital (SD) card, where the T/T only allows for an SD. This is a great feature as their are many peripheral devices that can plug into the CF slot, like digital camera's, wireless modules (cellular), radio, TV tuners, and on and on.

I've used PalmOS products before and was quite happy with them. I would say PalmOS is easier to learn, and was more configurable...before OS5.0. Palm has WAYYY more apps available but many will not run on the new OS5.0. That swayed my decision when I looked at a new machine so decided I had to give PocketPC a try and I'm glad I did! The Axim is by far the best value in the PPC world right now.

The choice is yours.
