While a PDA is very useful, can access the web, do email and more, the one blatent omission is the formatting and printing of some document.
You'll be able to go on some network, but unlike a PC you may find what you can do... limited.

hey
I know pocket PCs are PDAs and not laptops, but will it work for what I want to do? Can a PDA replace a laptop for me?
I want to take notes in class (w/ portable keyboard), and store some mp3s on it, plus the regular pda functions. Also if i set up a wireless network I'd like it to be able to get onto it.
to do this i wil use
Dell Axim X30 (624 version)
1gb sd card
dell portable keyboard
extra battery (mabie)
