I have bene good with my personsal organisers. I like to upgrade them to the latest model. I am currently on a palm Vx whihc I have had for well over a year now and use on a daily basis. I have seen other organisers and have always remained loyal to palm. The simple reasons for the loyalty is that they are very reliable, easy to use, very functional, loads of programs for them, long battery life.

It has a brilliant screen, though monochrome. In order to use it efficiently the user must learn the special way to write, except if the virtual keuboard is used. What is more, people that travel often might want to opt for an extra kit that allows for the Palm Vx to be recharged using normal AAA batteries. ...
