New PDA

#1 (**permalink**) 20-11-2003, 03:45 PM

I am looking to replace my Pocket PC should there be anything available that will meet my needs.
I need to be able to use excel files.
I need something that works for more than five hours without running down the battery and losing all my data, preferably with a removable battery so I can have a spare.
I need a good money application, currently use Cash Organiser which replicates with my MS money on my PC.
Any suggestions?
Am disilusioned after several years with a Psion Revo that did a lot more than my Pocket PC and with a long Battery life.

PPC2002-2003 has pocket excel, word as standard. Battery life in the 2210 and the 5550 and both have backup batteries. As for the cash organiser you would have to look at a 3rd party bit of software.

The 2210s and the 5550s battery can be removed and replaced at any time with a spare, so youll always have power. You can even get a battery jacket for the 5550 for even more juice!

Remeber the new pocket pcs all have a bright, colour and backlit screen. They also have fast (400MHz) cpus and loads of memory, so battery life is not as good as the Revo that had a small black and white screen, low power backlight and slow cpu.
