In the UK price for IIIc ~ �300, price for iPaq ~ �420, is �120 worth the
extra CPU speed, sound, and 32mb RAM (compare to 8mb on IIIc).
IMHO Yes I think the iPaq is well worth the price.
You also have to consider the price of the dev. tools. MS are saying you get
the version of VB and VC++ for the price of the CD ($15). While the palm
"offical" dev tool (Code warrior) costs $300+.
You can get the GCC compiler, but the version I use (links from
www.vfdide.com) seems to be very difficult to set up, as I only have a Palm
III, and need to use the older SDK.

BTW The iPaq Pocket PC OS uses a handwritting system very similer to that on
the Palm. I was able to enter data in to a HP machine (running same OS) with
no problems at all.
