I didn't know they were pulling out of the us market, that sucks. I have a tj-35

and LOVE it! I had the sj 22 and dropped it last fall and had to live without my

life for a couple weeks until I got my new one. I mean really, I couldn't live

without it because it does EVERYTHING.

The reason I picked sony over palm was screen resolution. For the price I got a

better machine than the comparable tungsten. I use my clie as an alarm clock, my

wwcalc, I write so I have the fold up keyboard, and I read a lot. I mean a LOT!

so the high res with the backlight makes reading a joy. I don't have a memory

stick yet, so I don't play around with the mp3 player, but that was the final

factor in why I got the tj-35. I also have my grocery lists <by store> and our

book databases <over 1200 and counting, both dh and I have several hundred we

haven't read yet>all in a neat little program. And I have ultrasoft money, which

means I always know how much money we have <and how much we still have to pay

off on our CC's> All of this hotsyncs with our desktop! If I want to add a book

I can do it up in our wellhouse <where we store our books> or down here on my

computer and then hotsync. Or if I'm in a store and decide to use my debit card

I can enter the transacting right there, come home and hotsync. Did I mention

this thing is my LIFE??

I also play games of course, but those others are the reasons I have a clie.

I didn't get one with a camera because frankly they aren't worth it, the

resolution on the cameras aren't enough to want one yet. And we have a digital

camera. I don't need to take voice notes, so a higher end tungsten wasn't enough

to draw me in, and those little keyboards?? puh-leeze! just do it on the screen!

I have an easier time tapping away with the onscreen keyboard, or I'll pull out

my full size fold up one. Plus Sony has the palm os which is the ONLY way to go

for now. Once the technology really catches up then it'll be worth it to switch

to windows based system, but right now? why bother? I can multi-task far more

efficiently with my dell.

Oh and nope, I don't need wi-fi, I get my email on my desktop. I'm just your joe

user, but let me tell you I use it for everything.

I guess when I need a new one I'll have to switch back to palm <I started with a

basic b & w palm but when dh got his sl-10 and I realized that high res was the

only way to go I got the sj-22, and never looked back>

Writing on this thing is a breeze, I can carry my full WIP with me and several

other documents and work on the ferry, or anywhere . . . I can tap out a couple

of pages before we reach the other side, then head up to the library and write

some more with my keyboard. and they clie and keyboard take up NO room in my

purse.

I love my clie. <EG>

Sony's pulling out of the PDA market, sure 'nuff. I love my TJ-37 but you

might want to go with a Palm One device. I hear that the Treo 600 is

pretty sweet (cell phone/PDA that runs the PalmOS), but at nearly $500,

it's pretty pricey.

If you do buy a PDA, make sure it has the PalmOS on it so that you can run

WWCalc.
