Since a lot of the users reading this Palm/Garnet forum are past Palm users, I thought this might be a good group to give me some feedback.
My brother-in-law has an *old* Handspring that finally gave out, so he is in the market for a new device. He is considering the Palm TX. I have suggested that he look into the iPod Touch and the N800, but the N800 is no longer available new in most places. I thought the iPod Touch might be easier for him to use, but I'm not sure how great the PIM features of it are.
Some info about him: He lives in Canada, used his old Palm mostly for calendar and contacts, uses Skype a lot on his laptop (this is one reason I suggested the N800). He seems a little ambivalent about using the wifi/web capability of the Palm, but I could see it being useful for him (he's an academic and spends a lot of time on campus where there is wifi, and in coffee shops with wifi)
I hope this isn't too off topic for this forum and I appreciate your thoughts.
