We didn't made it personal, and I don't  […]

Comments on "Pocket PC vs. Palm: Which is Really Easier?"

You can find the article here. Not a bad piece of text at all, but there are half-truth all the way. This article is based on a comparison of my M100 series Palm and my iPAQ 3900. An entry-level Palm with a not really entry level Compaq. It wouldn't be significative IF the evaluation wasn't  […]
