I'm hoping to get a new PDA in a few month when i go to singapore. i currently own an m100.....

and am trying to make a choice between the CLIE and the Visor Platinum.... both are pretty cheap at the moment....


i was wondering what the people here think as i have been watching this site since the day it started, but i know it will probably be biased towards the VPL..

You're right. We'll be biased toward the platinum. What are your pda needs?

You think? Why on earth would a Platinum related forum on a Visor related site be biased towards a Visor Platinum?

Which version of the Clie are we talking about?
I assume the (older) black/white one...

The Clie is smaller, I think 2Mb and has a jog-dail, but probably more expensive.

The VPl is faster and has the sprinboard slot and 8Mb....

It all depends on what you are looking for...

I was looking at the two of those PDAs too. But I went with Platinum. The physical dimensions of the Clie seemed really narrow, and I really didn't care much for the jog-dial. There doesn't seem to be very many applications out there that take advantage of it anyway. I may be wrong, but I also think that the Platinum is faster. Then you have all those cool Springboard modules you can get. Believe me, I love Sony. They make great TVs, monitors, VCRs, CD-players, but your handheld should be a Handspring.
