I tried on *three* occasions to use PocketPC devices and software, and every time I did, I missed appointments and meetings because the damned thing never synched reliably. And I hate Outlook's todo list.

Hi Didier, Palm recently released the Treo 700 with a choice of Palm or Windows software. It is slightly thinner than previous generations, but uses the same accessories, batteries, etc. as the 600 and 650 (which I own). My understanding is that the Palm software is being phased-out; this may be its last gasp. Apparently it is a victim of corporate Info Tech people who have declared Microsoft to be the Holy Grail for business use. I find the Palm software works just fine, synching with my MS Outlook at work and able to pull down Word documents. It also navigates easier and is more intuitive.
