I bought this to replace a Palm Tungsten I used for business contacts and scheduling. The IPAQ worked great - all the multimedia stuff works as advertised - Windows software is a little klutzy but you get used to it. Just when I was beginning to really like it and trust it (about two months) everything on the memory card disappeared. Checked everything out and the memory card is ok - the IPAQ just can't read it. I googled it and the problem is widespread. The device is in a drawer until I can get up the will to throw a nearly three hundred dollar device in the trash. I went back to the Palm. It ain't all that cute but I trust it with my data.
