It's hard to find PDA's lately. I was just having this conversation with a coworker. Everyone is buying smartphones, and the PDA market is dying.

The only thing close to a PDA on the market today is an iPod touch. Quite a few PDA users I work with have switched to the iPod touch for lack of a better alternative.

i know , i remember about 4 years ago, pdas were every where, just i couldnt afford one.

it doesnt need to be new, i been looking on ebay, and found a HP Jornada 568 for £28 which will do what i want, im just seeing if i can find anyting better before i buy

Try either a Nokia N800 OR N810 Internet Tablet. I use that as a PDA. Its brilliant it runs Maemo a debian derivative, You can find out more at http://www.internettabletforums.com

It could be what you are looking for. I love mine. You can pick them up cheaply.

EDIT: It has WIFI and you can use Bluetooth PAN to connect to the Internet from your mobile. So you can have internet access anywhere.

A tungsten E2 would work great, although..... the browser is pricey.
