    Pros: 320x320 screen, handles graphic-rich 160x160 applications well, jogdial
    Cons: pixelated, MemorySticks small and expensive, terrible buttons, poor font support, no native Mac support

    Summary: In theory the Sony Clie N710c could have been the best Palm OS device yet. In theory a higher resolution color screen should be free of the pixelation effects that plague other color Palms. In theory it should have been small but easy to hold and use. In ... read more

    Pros: Small/Sleek, Gorgeous screen, Plays MP3s, expandable memory, simple and easy to use
    Cons: Not as powerful as a PocketPC, memory sticks only work with Sony devices, pricey

    Summary: When you are choosing a PDA the first decision you want to make is "Do I want a PalmOS based PDA or a PocketPC based PDA?". If you chose a PalmOS then the N710C or the newer model N760C is right for you. I had my 710C upgraded by Sony so it ... read more
