Good PDA?

hello, im new to these forums. im looking to get my girlfriend a PDA, but im not sure which one to get. i know nothing of MACs (im in the IT field and work only with PCs) so i dont know which would be the best for her system (i dont know which model it is, but its the new one with the intel chip). i would assume just buy her an iphone, but i dont want to wait until june, dont want to spend $600, and cingular sucks it. im looking to spend around $250 or less.

tia,
sean

Palm OS really seems to work the best with OS X. And if you pick up the program The Missing Sync, you will be even better off, it's pretty much a must have app for PDAs! http://www.markspace.com/

I have a Palm T|X and it does everything I need it to do (and some fun stuff too). Plus Palm OS feels more Mac-like. If you don't need a smartphone, I find this unit to be robust.

The Palm Tungsten e2 is a $100 bucks cheaper and drops the integrated wifi and some cpu power, but it's a nice simple PDA that still does some video and music.

Palm plays nicest with OS X in my experience.

...though I have heard some rumors that Palm's future in PDAs was questionable, since smartphones are so cheap now with contract and abundant I think they are running dedicated PDAs out of the market.

The upside is that Palm is right there in the thick of it with their Treo line of smart phones. I have a 700P and love it.

treo 650 here. I agree, PALM is the only OS that I've found to mesh well with the mac OS.

If she's a verizon/sprint user you can find her a nice 700p, if she's on the GSM network she'll have to go with a 650 (which you can find on ebay for around $220.00 or so)

I'm praying they release a 750p GSM for us t-mobile users
