In a previous article, said:
I am in the market for a PDA to help organize my life, dates, phone
numbers, addresses, emails, and also double as a electronic flight
computer and sort of a electronic flight bag type of thing.

My laptop is a Powerbook Mac and my desktop is a PC.

Should I go with a Palm pPilot (OS) or a Pocket PC? And which have
better software for aviation?

I've been using Palm PDAs for a long time. They work well with Mac OS,
Linux, and I'm told they even work with Windows although I'm fortunate
enough to have never tried. I use CoPilot (see my web site
http://xcski.com/~ptomblin/CoPilot for details) as an important part for
my flight planning - I put the flight plan into it so that I can enter the
winds and have an accurate ETE, as well as being able to do the w&b and
just read the flight plan (in either US, Canadian or ICAO formats) off the
screen.

Up until Saturday when somebody tried to teach me how to ride a
motorcycle, I used a Palm Treo as my phone and PDA, and it was great to be
able to use it to check weather and see radar pictures and satellite maps
when I wasn't at home. I'm hoping my insurance covers a smashed and
slightly blood covered Treo because I really missed it on the flight home.
