Default Looking for a PDA that can search a document

Hello,

I'm a PDA newbie so please bear with me. I am looking for a hand held device that can search a document.

I have a big Word file which contains contact and other information about various clients and associates. Yes, I know that it would be wiser to keep this information in a database, but at this stage it has grown to a substantial size and is not worth the effort.

Does anyone know of a PDA with the ability to search text documents? I'm not necessarily looking for the most expensive device out there. It doesn’t need to have Bluetooth, WAP, Windows or the other extras. But if they are standard on PDA’s these days, then I guess I wouldn’t mind.

Let me know if you guys have any ideas. Thanks!

Hi,
I have recently bought an XDA Mini S which comes with Windows Mobile 5. It has Mobile Word on it, which can search a Word document exactly as normal Word can.

I think this is pretty standard for any PDA which run Windows Mobile 5, although being a newbie too, I'll bow to an experts greater knowledge.

I'm pretty happy with the XDA Mini S which I have managed to get Tom Tom navigator 5 working on it too.

Hope this helps.
Marc

All of our Pocket PC PDA's will let you search through word documents using the standard find option.

This 1710 will do what your looking for although you will need a memory card for storage.

Models like the 2190 and 2490 shown below will have a better version of word since they use windows mobile 5. They also have extra features like bluetooth.

and wifi

There are other models but you'd be paying for features you wouldnt use. I would focus on the 3 above.

Give me a call if you have any question or want to order.
