The list goes on!) I am also a Mac user (G4 iMac, 12" Powerbook 1.5Ghz, 800Mhz iBook G4), and tolerate two PC's (a Sony Vaio PCG-TR3A 'Picture book' subnotebook and a Compaq Tablet PC (which seldom runs for more than an hour without hanging....) I use my Powerbook for most things. It is the absolute solution. However, I do carry my 9500 and iMate with me every day as well. The 9500 handles text messages, hands free phone calls, wifi, and faxes very well. My PocketPC handles my calendar and contacts (I connect it to my mac via PocketMac lite using bluetooth). I mostly use my iMate with wifi for RSS feeds (updating RSS feeds with the RSS reader) and downloading podcasts when I don't want to use iTunes. By the way, there is a brilliant Podcast called 'topofthepods' that did a show about PocketPC uses. One of the hosts is a mac guy. You can find it at www.topofthepods.com Cheers, and thanks for the good info! Dion from Sunny South Africa!
