John,
By definition, Palm and PPC devices have QVGA or smaller displays.
So, neither will meet your criteria for a large display.
What you need for a large display is a web tablet. However AppForge =
does not support WinCE .NET. Plus these tablets are very heavy and have =
short battery life, like Tablet PC's.

Subject: [NTLK] Recommend Palm or PocketPC device?
I realize that this is a somewhat odd request for the NewtonTalk list, =
but the
truth is that I want the opinions of Newton users -- since they are much =
more
familiar with what I'd like, of course.
The situation is that there are now several specific applications that I =
need
to run on a handheld/PDA (for either work or personal usage) that just =
aren't
available on the Newton. So, I'm considering either switching -- or at =
least
picking up a second handheld to run them.
Therefore, I'm interested in the opinions of other Newton (or ex-Newton =
by
force) users that have gone to a Palm or PocketPC device for whatever =
reason.
I'd like a unit that has a large screen (at least the Newton's =
resolution,
although I'd like the large physical size too if possible). But, from =
what
I've seen, nothing is that big these days except Tablet PCs -- which =
isn't
what I'm looking for. I also would like handwriting recognition ON THE =
SCREEN
(not into some little box) -- like the Newton has.
The unit has to work with AppForge (see
http://www.appforge.com/devices/index.html for a list of devices). So, =
if
anyone is familiar with AppForge -- or with any of the specific Palm or
PocketPC devices on that list -- I would really be interested in your =
opinions
on them.
Thanks very much!
