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.

I have both an iTouch and a 110. You can easily add a 16 GB SD card to the 110 and have the same amount of storage space. With the iTouch you have to me continually connected to read email. It only downloads email headers. If you are not connected you can not read the email body. On the 110 you can download the complete message and read the email off line any time you desire. I usually recieve about 100 AOL emails a day. I down load them in the evening and then at my leasure while disconnected from any service I can read, edit and delete emails. The emails to be sent and deleted will be automically handled the next time I connect. Whit the iTouch I can only read emails while connected.
If you are funding limited I would just go with the 110 for now. As Apple makes more software available the iTouch may become as useful to me.

I guess you are in some other country than I(USA) as the ipaq 116 sugests.
But its hard to believe that the ipaq 110 would be that much higher. Its $300 here. anyway 110 and itouch are completely different and will never be alike.
You will never get Excel, powerpoint, or word on it. I have a 8gig SDHC card on mine and could get a 16gig($57 last time I looked). I develope on 110 and have not even come close to running out.
The 110 comes with excell,powerpt, and word.
If you want VGA instead of OVGA then you would have to go to the 210 which is $500:approve:
