I tend to agree with the article writer's conclusion that: "Both Palm OS and Pocket PC need some work. "
I use both an Samsung I330 and a Jornada 568. Due to the lack of a memory slot on the I330, I back up critical files to the J568, so that when the I330 does a spontaneous hard reset, I can use the IR ports to restore critical apps until I get back to my Desktop where I can do a full restore. I can also connect the J568 to the I330 if I need access to a website that doesn't work on the I330, while away from a desktop.
The I330 meets my PIM needs as well as managing email most of the time. However, if I need to view an attachment, I download it to the J568.
The I330 has no multi-media; for trips, I rely on the J568 for movies and music.
I've been tempted to "upgrade" to a Treo 600, but compared to the I330, I just don't like the form factor. I also don't want to go back to a non-removeable battery.
Rather than choosing between Palm and PPC, I still prefer to use each--at least until someone comes out with a smartphone with the I330 form factor, and a de-bugged version of Mobile Windows 2003.
