I will also agree on Tam’s concern about finding the one specific audio file. The iPod’s lack of a true OS will deprive it of a search function as well as the ability to create a playlist without a computer.

Nonetheless, I am eagerly anticipating Part 2 of this post = ]

@brian:
That’s it. Many people say “why should I buy a Palm? I can handle my contacts and calendar with my iPod/mobile phone/whatever.” But let’s see which device is the better one in the PIM competition…;)

To be perfectly honest, I prefer my Tungsten TE2 over an ipod,… for one simple reason: the touchscreen. The screen is much bigger, and that makes viewing videos, pictures,.. comfortable. I watched ther history of blinkenlights yesterday with a friend on my T3, and we had no problems. Imagine doing that with the tiny, tiny ipod screen. Or, have fun finding one song from 15000 wihtou a touchscreen…

For me, capacity is not everything. There needs to be a brain behind it…..

Best regards

this post, however, takes it a through a retrospective alternative- which is instead interesting. Good Job = ]

comparing the palm tx to the ipod video for its entertainment utility is like comparing the air conditioner in my car to that of your house.
