Indeed, a notebook is more suited, but want to buy a PDA, already have a laptop. I can hardly carry that around in my pocket now, can I? So the pointed answers have my gratitude.

Good news about OpenOffice, already using that at work. I understand I would need a special version of it? Have any links?

To clarify the movie question: TBH I am thinking of standard res for example 650x350 @ 25fps or thereabout. Those would be movies from my own DVD's ripped for my own use (to be in agreement with the law ). I wanted to know whether there were any glitches in rendering, skipped frames, animation-like moving, or if the quality of the rendering is similar to the notebook. In other words, can I watch a movie without getting annoyed with the quality of the rendering? Asus 696 can do it, and it's weaker than the 810.

Another thing: I have learned VB, I can also learn another language to develop my own apps. What would you recommend, something with an easy to use UI to create small efficient apps with similar easy UI? What about for databases?
