I am using the Sony SJ33 for 3 years +.  If I wish to buy a new pda, how should I choose between palm and ppc.  What are their strength and weakness ? It seems to me that the palm market is diminishing, only few softwares is launching and I am afraid that it will be fade out in the coming future.  On the other hand, I find that the existing program are relatively small in size and easy to install.  Please give me opinion.

Definitely PPC. Hate to say it (or guess it) but Palm OS may be gone in a matter of years. Palm Treo 700w uses the WM5 platform in order to test the market. It may not be too soon for them to try it on the PDA also and do an ultimate switch later on.

I used a Palm IIIc before, then switched to WM and have been using until now. It's personal but I do find the WM more friendly.

I agree with mgc, and btw, you have already mentioned it...palm seems to be fading out
I too have switched from palm to ppc, just look at the number of ppc in the market now and compare it to palm, many more options and more features to play with.
I do look forward to wm6 to be more stable and more user friendly though.

Try PPC la~

Plam - less powerful, more free software

I have been using palm for years and I think the function is becoming useless. I may swift to PPC sooner or later.

I used palm for more then 5 years before, and tried WM2002 with those old PPC. I stayed with Palm until last year when I tried WM2003 on the Dopod 818, now I
am sticked with PPC, found there are more useful softwares and more hardware choices. Go PPC la.

palm-more efficient
ppc-have more multimedia function

其實 ppc 定 palm 好, 真係要看你用來做什麼...
如果你只打算用來聽歌, 看 movie 看電子書及一般 pda 的記事及字典功能...
基本上palm 同 ppc 都可以做到, 但如果說穩定性方面...palm 一定獲勝
而且其軟件 size 細, 而且唔會好似 ppc, 你會愈用愈慢, 如果你剩係開 program 而唔 end program.
你話palm 軟件少, 其實你去 palmgear.com 看一看又發現唔係咁少...
而且同樣用 xscale cpu 的palm 及 ppc, palm 一定比較快...
palm 的 freeware 比 ppc 一定多...
好似講到我自己係 palm 的發言人咁...(其實我都用緊 O2 xda iis)
而 ppc 的好處是一機的發展無限...
它可以係 pmp, 它可以變分貝儀, 可以變驅蚊器...可以做你 desktop 的 remote terminal....
創意無限, 全因 microsoft 的龐大...
不過亦因為如此, 其系統穩定性亦仍存在問題...

小弟認為那樣好?
那樣都好...只要你想用來幹什麼...

i suggest you to get a treo 650..my friend tried to use the hp ppc... 68xx... the problem is that once you install too many program into the machine.. it always hang ..even if it works.. it became so slow... for palm.. i dont have to explain how convinence it is... in terms of using it as an assisant... i can even install some third party software... for me to use icq, yma and msn.. imagine i can login those 3 and also check my email at the same time... it is only 3600+... a best buy for the moment......
