A LifeDrive has its pros:
- Valuable to those in need of high volume of storage, most commonly for
media.
- Reliable, stable operating system, i.e. rarely needs a reset
- Instant access to applications (assuming you put them in memory) and a
very responsive interface. A wise guy once said "in WinCE the user waits
for the device, with Palm the device waits for the user".
- Overall simplicity
- A wide range of free applications
- Interoperability, e.g. will you use a Mac or Linux box in the future?
A 'mini-Windows' PDA has its pros too:
- As many people use Windows (I will not go into the argument of whether it
is wise or not), the Mobile PC environment offers a softer transition,
arguably
- High-resolution screens (VGA), which are available with some of the
latest models
- Price is sometimes tempting
- Media integration, movies in particular, is sometimes superior
