I am going to be starting my first year of dental school in the fall. I am just wondering whether I should wait until a couple of years in. I have heard that they can be quite helpful in the third year and beyond in both dental and medical school. So, I guess I am wondering if I can get a lot of use out of one my first couple of years. I am a bit of a gadget freak so I just want to get one now and start playing.
I am currently looking at the Palm T|X and the iPAQ hx2495 and am undecided. I like both of them from what I can see on the internet. I do not have much experience with PDAs. I have and old epoc and an old visor. The two are very different in that the palm has palm os 5.4 and the iPaq has Windows Mobile 5. I am not sure which is better in the health field. Also, the palm does not have a voice recorder. That might be useful in class, but I might never even use it (you guys would have to answer that one). I am really not sure what to do. I am going to the store today just to get first hand experience for myself. You can only learn so much about a device by reading. I was wondering if anyone has any good or bad experiences with either set up. I am not that conserned with the actual onboard memory because I plan to get a 2 gig memory card reguardless of which one I get. However, the processor of the Palm is slower, but I have also read that the WM5 can be unnecessarily needy in both memory and processor. The palm is about $100 cheaper. I am trying not to let the money be the deciding factor, but I still don't want to waste what little money I have.
I would also like to have the capability to play movies. I have read that both are perfectly suitable for this, but I am just a little concerned with the processor speed of the palm.
Thanks for any suggestions.
