We used Hewlett Packard PDAs at work but they were slow and battery eaters despite having fast processors and loads of ram, inefficient software and loads of screencandy I was told. I will probably buy the last of the Palm Treos if Palm OS ceases to be, then when that dies back to just a phone. I prefer simplicity and expect intuitive software. In fact poor software is my pet hate, it is so unnecessary.
