    Hey guys - I am looking into purchasing the Sony Clie PEG-UX50 and was wondering what your thoughts are of this product. The interesting fact here is that Sony is exiting the US Market for PDA's (http://www.pdantic.com/blog/2004/06/sony-exiting-us-pda-marketfor-now.htm)

    Anyone have one of these babies? They are really cool - would love to use them for checking email, etc, at work (for personal reasons, etc).

    Haven't used that specific model - but have setup other Sony PDA's using the same OS. I've never been a big fan of the Sony PDA's, maybe because of the PalmOS or because of the ridiculous prices. Either way, i've had great luck with my T-Mobile PocketPC phone (basic run-of-the mill PocketPC2003 PDA/phone hybrid). I've also setup some Dell Axim's (X3i's) and HP 1945's and can say the Axim X3i's are by far the best bang-for-the buck coming in at $280 w/ wireless capabilities out of the box. I believe PocketPC to be a much more expandable and customizable platform then then Palm OS - although i only use Palm OS machines in our warehouse environment (~30 units) and i've had great success due to the simplicity of the machines.

    I'd highly recommend the Dell X3i if you haven't already looked at it.

    The one thing I love about the Clie is that it picks up the 802.11 frequency for wireless capability. Thats a huge benefit for me - so I can get email/web.
