I was just considering the same change.  My reason was because Palm
never seems to quite "hit home" with the feature set in their devices.
Look at - for example - the Dell Axim x50v.  Includes 802.11 *and*
Bluetooth, 128MB of RAM, etc etc.  Palm just put out the T5 and it has
*NO* 802.11...!!  And the T|C after over a year in the market still
has NO Bluetooth..  :-/

But after talking to one of my long-time associates she *still* hates
CE/Win Mobile devices.  She just recently got a Win Mobile device with
an XScale 400 CPU in it.  She said they're obscenely slow (Win Moble
is apparently still a pig), have very short battery life and crash at
least once a day.  She tried one for a week and tossed it back in it's
box - never to see the light of day again.

Her *exact* words to me were; "If the day ever comes where CE is the
only choice for a PDA OS I'm going back to a Franklin Planner."
