Hello guys!
I am trying to do some research on the best PDA for business..I own an old Palm for personal use and it works great but need a stronger PDA that suits more professional database needs? Can anyone recommend a great one? Please state your reasons and etc..this is on my company so don;'t be swayed by cost!!
Thanks!

I'd hate to start off by giving a non-answer, but where I work, I recommend PC's and Mobile Technology computing for many clients, and before recommending anything, I'd ask what you want to do with it. I might recommend a Pocket PC over a Palm OS device, depending on the situation.

Will you be sync'ing it at work on a computer? or taking it home or to another office to sync?

You did say professional database, but can you say what kind of database?

Would you need wireless networking? Networking or internet usage at all? Would you need to transfer files between other PDA's?

What type of busineess is it? The reason I ask that is some industries have software tailored just for them, and your's may have that too, which in turn could possibly sway toward Palm or Pocket PC.

Hope this helps - please let us know what you're thinking on doing.
