ipaq111 or palm tx??

The more research i do the more confused I become! I had pretty much decided on the palm but some say palm is losing ground to hp and that hp is easier to use but I have also read that nursing/medical software is more abundant for the palm. Can anyone shed some light to get me pointed in the right direction?

THANK YOU!

Re: ipaq111 or palm tx??

My parents bought me a Palm TX for my birthday, and my fiance bought me the Nursing Constellation software for it, and it's been absolutely fantastic. Easy to install software, easy to use, and such a great resource. It's easy to put my schedule on it, and it's a nice size so it fits right in my scrub pockets. I don't have any experience with the HP PDA, but I love my palm tx and I'd recommend it to anyone

I would say the Palm TX is somewhat superior to the IPAQ 110. The IPAQ 210 or 211 is superior to the TX.

The PDA market is about dead. We sill see modified phoneless smart phones such as the iTouch taking their place. The iTouch is not there yet though. It has many, many drawbacks even compared to the simplest Palms.

Re: ipaq111 or palm tx??

I have a couple of apps that I have used for years on a long series of palms so I have been torn between the HP210/211 and the T|X.
On the off chance that one of my favorite apps, Planetarium, had been ported to the pocketpc I went to Planetarium's home site and found this statement:
"Runs on Windows Mobile with the StyleTap platform".

So... I am over being conflicted... the Hp will be my choice.

The iPod touch / iPhone is something to keep an eye on also.

Now that it is opening to 3rd party development, we should start seeing medical apps that don't require an internet connection very soon.

Epocrates for sure is coming to the iPod touch very soon.

I cant recommend a product that *might* soon be a fully functional medical pda - but it certainly has promise.

Re: ipaq111 or palm tx??

you can get a new TX for 1/2 the price. and though it may be a "dieing" tech, the software available to these are staggering. I will never use 1/2 of the great programs I have on mine. you cannot possibly regret the purchase of one. I got mine for $110 used on eBay. It has the smallest scratch on the screen in the lower right hand corner. not always visible, and certainly worth every cent I paid. And double that.

I have an hp 211 in hand now (Costco) and it feels pretty nice.
I'm going to take it to BestBuy today and compare the T|X to it.
