Not sure,

The palm has a 1.2MP Camera, and both have bluetooth. Though the Ipaq has double the RAM and windows OS. If your not bothered about the cam i would say the IPAQ, but the Palm does look good considering it is £188, (£40 cheaper than the ipaq)

sorry about that but having been through the palm thing and now using the pocketpc I would never go back, well except maybe one of the high end Clie's

btw, take a look at PocketGear to see what sort of software is available for the pocketpc platform

I guess you could also take a look at PalmGear too

and then there is handango of course

looks like the PPC has more ram and a better processor, so will be better for games. It also has windows media player, so can play mp3's .avi's etc. And pocket TV is easily available to play mpegs. There is also software to convert a whole dvd to fit onto a 128mb card.
I haven't been able to find a decent emulator for GBA but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
Internet explorer to view the internet is great, only drawback is that you can't save pics from the browser to the PDA. I would say that the IPAQ is better, though the Palm is cheaper and has a decent cam on it.

@masseur does the clie use palm OS, or has sony created there own platform for it?

I just picked up a Plam Zire 71 for £70 the other week, considering it should have been £250 I think that quite good. its a solid little Palm I would get one of those and have loads of cash spare. Good camera, its blue and its got a crystal screen on it. I pains me to say it, but I got in in PC World. Last one in shop, thus the price, if your lucky you may be able to get for the same.

I use my Sony NZ90 mainly which is the mutts nuts, when carrying a bag with me that is. What with it being v big.
