First, I have experience with WinCE since I owned a Philips unit (the one before the Nino came out). But let's face it folks: you don't use a PDA to replace your PC -- you use it as a supplement that works hand in hand with it. I never once used the built in keyboard in anykind of serious fashion on that device.My excuse for buying the Visor Platinum was a program called DietLog for PalmOS (not available on WinCE). My dietician recommended it (I'm trying to lower my HDL cholesterol level -- that program on a PalmOS device makes it kinda fun I guess).Other reasons for buying a PDA: if your hard drive has ever crashed, you know how frustrating it is having to cull all your personal contact info. again and typing it in. But with it all backed up on your PalmOS device, you can simply reinstall the Palm HotSync software, sync the device and there is all your old info!Travel alarm clock: I use an application that turns the Visor into an alarm clock (also, the DateBook+ app can function like this).Offline web browsing: I use AvantGo's offline web browser to take web sites with me to read on the go.Vindigo also makes a cool web-like application to find restraunts, movies, and shoppping places wherever you are (it downloads the latest info from its servers).These are just a few cool and useful applications of the Handspring Visor Platinum. I know the extra memory will come in handy (I learned this when I had a WinCE device -- even if you don't think you'll need the extra memory, you'll be glad you got it later).Also, if you want a wireless connection and you own a cell phone with a wireless web capability, you can buy a cord that attached your cell phone to the Visor so the cell phone acts like a modem for the Visor. These connecting cords are available from several online retailers(...). I've not tried this yet, but it's a cheaper alternative to buying the expensive module that allows wireless access.Overall, I'm happy with the unit and agree with what most reviewers have posted here. However, I have two concerns/complaints:1) the glittery silver finish looks painted on to me, so it'll probably start to wear off after two years of use (though conventional wisdom is that if you get 3 or more years out of a PDA, you got your money's worth).2) the backlight is a joke -- you can't really use this in the dark.I still recommend the product. The PalmOS is just more intuitive than WinCE.
