Here's the low down on the differences. Palms use less memory and have longer battery life. The operating system is incredibly easy to use. They are also much less expensive. Medical Software will work with palms and PPCs. There is an abundance written for palms. I'm not sure how much is written for PPCs.
PPCs uses windows operating sytem format so it will be very familiar if you are a windows user. It hogs memory(along with all windows systems) which is why you can't find and that are less than 64mb. They have crappy battery life like a couple of days where you don't have to charge a palm for weeks. They do have more features for games and moviesand playing music.
My personal opinion is that palms are better for the above stated reasons. Most people don't want to watch movies or the other stuff on their PDAs. Its mostly for medical software for Docs(ie you can use it to calculate a TPN order) and keeping track of junk which is why a palmOS based system is great.

For me, it is les a mtter of specifically wanting one for "msI msII" and more a matter of keeping myself really organized. I used a handheld in college (one of the first Handspring models) and now I want one for medical school (I gave my other one away). So, since i am going to have one anyway (most likely palm m515) I just wanted to know if there are any "usefull" programs for the 1st and 2nd years. I know I may have worded my origional post poorly, I apologize.
