My Pocket PC has changed my life for the better. My wife thought it made me a techno-nerd geekster, until I gave her her own Dell Axim for Christmas. Now she and her Axim are inseparable!

I'm on my fourth PPC so far (first was an iPAQ 3650, then an iPAQ 3670, then a Dell Axim5x, and I just bought a UTStarcom XV6700). The XV6700 is actually a so-called "convergence device"; i.e., a cell phone cum Pocket PC. I only got it yesterday (3/27/06), but so far I like it a lot and think I'll keep it.

For those new to Pocket PCs, or thinking of getting one, these links should be helpful and informative. They are just a sample of the dozens of sites devoted to Pocket PC news, hardware, and software.

For Pocket PC newbies, I suggest starting with Windows Mobile (Microsoft's PocketPC.com site), then branching out from there.
