How is the Palm T|X for web browsing?

My wife has a palm T/X and I wouldn't recommend it for regular web browsing. Not bad but I think the ipod would be much better. Blazer is not the best browser. Palm is good at entering contacts.

I would rather use the ipod touch as a PDA. Only problem is not being able to enter calendar events. However, you could enter them on google calendar and use a program called Spanning Sync to sync those with ical at home and on your ipod. That program does cost $,however. IMHO apple will fix this eventually but that may just be hopeful thinking.

I would never use the T/X for music....no comparison there

 

I bought the Palm TX when my beloved Palm Tungsten C died. I was not at all happy with the web browsing and went back to the Tungsten C (introduced in 2003, I believe). The Tungsten C is faster (it has a 400 MHz processor, the fastest yet of all Palm devices, including the latest smartphones, which run at 333 MHz) and it has a stronger Wifi radio. It screams when browsing and, since it has a thumb board (like the Treos), it is ideal for me for replying to email and performing other text functions.

I am an attorney and use the TC for legal research from time to time. It works so well that I have bought several broken TCs, built my current model from parts, and have parts for later, if needed. Palm no longer makes it but you can find a good one for a reasonable price on eBay (no I am not selling one). Avoid the Palm Tungsten W, which looks like the C and some assume it is a C with telephony. It is not. To accommodate the telephone and the battery drain problems it causes, Palm installed a dumbed-down OS on the Tungsten W and a much slower processor. (The C runs Palm OS 5 and I can use it all day, including with Wifi, without running out of juice.) I am a true-believer in the C (I have had one and have used it daily, extensively, since 2004) and wish Palm would make an updated version with the TC thumb board but without the smartphone, for which I have no current need. I have a TX in a drawer, next to a Tungsten W that I also built from parts before realizing that it is not a TC with telephony.
