My sister has asked me for advice on buying a PDA to use for her work. PDA's are something I know very little about, ask me to spec and build workstations, servers and network infrastructures....I'm your man! :D however no one I know owns/uses a PDA.

She needs it to have a mail client preferably MS Outlook to sync to her laptop and check email on the move.

She'll also be updating the CRM software her company use in real time, so I assume she'll be connecting via VPN.

The budget she's been given is £190. However she could go higher depending on the spec!

She has been looking at two already:

HP iPAQ RX 1950 <--- PDF Spec Sheet

Palm T|X Handheld

What would you recommend?
 
sorry to hi-jack this thread but i got one small question regarding PDAs,

im thinking of buying one to use as a MP3 player and a simply organiser, but will that be a bad idea? i just want a MP3 player with a big screen to look through my large selection of music and screens on most MP3 players dont really satisfy me...

memory card price isnt such a issue as e-bay is always on my side with that.
