我想买一台pda，但是不很清楚该如何选择。到底是palm还是ppc呢？
是否二者都能支持在康大、麦大无线上网呢？是否需要特别的账号？

请用过pda的高手帮忙解答，谢谢！

i used to have 2 palm pda, for wireless support, better go with ppc, for software support, better go with palm. but you should think twice before buying a wireless pda, since a top of line pda may cost you $700, a laptop nowadays with basic function is around $1200. fyi, i sold 2 pda because i don't touch it so often.

谢谢你的建议，我还以为pda都是在200-300左右。

我想知道这个价位的产品是不是能够满足日常的需要，比如电子词典、上网浏览、收发邮件、录音、记事等。其实我日常使用电脑的时候并不多，经常在外面，回家也只是收发邮件和看看2、3个网站而已，所以笔记本暂时没有考虑。

如果可以的话，能不能帮我推荐几款机器，谢谢先。另外，我从来没用过pda，ppc是不是比palm要容易用一些？

200-300 for new (not used ones), you won't get wireless, forget about surfing web, email. tungsten is a good choice for novice, 299.99 in futureshop, but it doesn't come with network module. seems that you know very little about pda, it is an expensive toy, laptop is a much better choice (so you can get rid of your desktop at home) for students.

this one comes with 801.11b for school intranet, i guess that is what you are looking for, but at that price tag (after tax 620), you better think twice, sell your desktop for like $600, and add $600, you get a not-too-bad laptop.

如果低于500就没有无线上网的话，我就放弃算了。我还是老老实实每天回家上网吧，每天背着个笔记本也挺累的，我只是想收发邮件。
谢谢你了！你对pda知道得挺多的！

no, i know a little about pda, otherwise i will enjoy, you buy a pda here, need to download language patch to read chinese, a lot of things will make you mad, haha. just take a look around if it is a cheap thing to own and enjoy, a lot of people will go for it, of course people here are less gadget-maniac like asains.

我发现了一款很多人都使用的机器Zire72，我想知道，这个型号的机器可以在这里的学校里无线上网么？谢谢了！
