Ok, it's been a few years since I got my Palm VII... In the mind to upgrade soonish.
I'm not exactly on a *tight* budget, but I can't afford top of the line or anything. So don't suggest the uber-PDA-of-your-dreams.
I'd *prefer* to get a windows CE type, as I would think that would make some of what I want to do easier, but...
What I use my existing PDA for:
Jotting down quick notes in class that don't warent dragging out my laptop
As a poormans e-book reader, for things like the SRD, project guetenburg books, BAEN e-books, etc. PDF-reading ability would be a plus here, but not strictly required I suppose. Same with HTML reading ability.
An electronic character sheet for gaming session.
A dice-roller.
Occasionaly playing games while I'm idle and need a diversion.
Now, yes, technicly, I can do all of this with my current PDA. But it's getting harder to find software for an old version of PalmOS, its got a pretty small memory, takes forever to load a book, requires converting almost anything to a palm-specific format before I load it, etc. Besides, the screen is getting a bit faded/blurry/something or other, and honestly I'm not sure how much longer it's got.
Online connectability isn't a huge issue for me right now.
