My company is in the process of deciding which PDA we should standardize on. As we are a Windows house, we have decided that a CE machine is probably the best bet for us.
Battery life is billed at eight hours.
The other, CompactFlash Backup, is for backing up data on a CompactFlash card. Our fearless editor has jumped in a few times now expressing some strong reservations about CE being a viable choice and has commented on it being the superior device, more flexible, etc. Frankly I've worked with both and each has certain strengths over the other. If you are going to abuse your editorial power by tromping all over the expert's content at least be gracious enough to qualify your opinions with some verifiable facts.
