I’m in the market for a pocket PC or pda with WiFi. The reasoning is at work I don’t get cell phone reception(due to our thick concrete walls) and neither does anyone else who isn’t a Verizon customer (they’re the only ones that installed a repeater in the museum). However, there is a WiFi network available for use.
So here’s my criteria of requirements for the new gadget:
1. WiFi capability – This is a must since I need internet access.
2. Decent web browser – I don’t need fancy flash or anything but I don’t want a handicapped browsing experience like that of a hiptop.
3. Pricing – I really don’t want to spend too much for a toy gadget.
Here are some things that are nice to have, but when it comes down to it, not necessary.
1. QWERTY keypads – Always nice to have a qwerty keypad.
2. MP3 playback – Would be nice to have music playback here and there.
So far I’ve found a few choices I like but anything in this price range is considered a big ticket item for me so I tend to do my research and comparison shopping. A lot of the choices I found that meet my needs are discontinued so I’ll probably have to poach them from eBay.
