I'm thinking about one to replace my Treo 650.

Any particular reason you're replacing it beyond New Toy itchiness? (I ask because as soon as my Verizon contract allows, I do wan to trade in my current phone for a new one, preferable a Treo or VCast or other does-everything kind of device.)

I'm tired of my Treo crashing on me. Also I use my phone so much that I tend to wear them out. Beyond that I'm just tired of Palm OS not multitasking and basicallt showing how outdated it is.

I hated my Windows Mobile 5 PDA for the OS bit, though the features kind of rocked.

Of course, it doesn't help that EVERYTHING I own is a Mac, so installing softwae was a biatch.

Also, that wasn't the phone edition that I used.

ETA: I'll probably stick with my Treo until

1) A Newton Phone/PDA (or other Apple interface) is released
2) A treo 700l (linux instead of windows) is released, and doesn't suck
3) There's clearly no other choice but Windows for PDA phones

... whichever comes first.

It's not as bad for me since phones are pretty much a one year commitment for me.

Of course, it doesn't help that EVERYTHING I own is a Mac, so installing softwae was a biatch.

Yeah, that's my main motivation for sticking with Palm -- I don't relish the idea of making Windows Mobile play with my computer. (Plus, all my other software is Palm, and I don't want to have to replace it all.)

Syncing a Windows PDA on Mac isn't bad with Missing Sync (which i have for my palm anyway, as it's significantly nicer than iSync), but installing software? Most of which comes packed in SELF-EXTRACTING WINDOWS EXEs for absolutely no reason? Very annoying.

(Windows Mobile has a perfectly portable method of installing software called CAB files. It works FINE on a Mac - transfer the file, run it on the PDA, voila! Unfortunately, most commercial software ISN'T AVAILABLE that way unless you get in a long discussion with various customer service representatives about your needs. Ver' obnoxious.)

Just saw this MacZot! site today: [link]

Does anyone know what the other one (that probably inspired it) is called? It offers only one product per day and occasionally offers surprise brown packages. All electronics and tech stuff.

I'm Mac too so the would be a bit of a pain but I have a collection of PC's that I can use for software install.

This is probably only interesting to me, but I feel like sharing. ETC announces Mac support for Congo™ and SmartFade

CNN is reporting that Apple is phasing out the 60 GB iPod.

Apple may be phasing out its 60-gigabyte Video iPod, according to one analyst who tracks the company.

The company has told its distributors that the 60-gigabyte iPod, which launched in October and retails for $399, is "at risk" until the end of April, meaning that it could be discontinued or replaced, according to Shaw Wu, an analyst for American Technology Research,

In a note to clients, Wu said he believes the company is readying a wide-screen video iPod with Bluetooth headphones that could be ready as early as the June quarter. The analyst said his checks indicate that Apple is working on such a product.

The new device reportedly has a screen that covers the entire face of the iPod and a "virtual click wheel" that appears only when a user touches the screen. The design resembled a patent that Apple recently filed for a tablet computer.

I don't understand why the introduction of the wide-screen iPod precludes a 60 GB model. I hope mine stays healthy if that is the case - because 30 GB is not enough for me.
