I have been dreaming of owning a centro. It would be nice if you could review the seidio hard hybrid case for the palm centro. It seems atleast from what I can see to be the perfect case/protection for the centro. Thank you. Hi, Merry christmas! I have been dreaming of owning a centro.

The ones I have seen uses larger units that need to be plugged in to outlets only, thus not quite portable.

Since I'm currently looking for a wifi replacement for my old Sony Clie sj33, I would love a review of older non-phone wifi pdas compared to CURRENT options. Here's what I'd like to know: - is the screen better or at least as nice as my lovely Clie? - does the wifi/browser work properly (non-english fonts? images? javascript-required pages? 801.11g WPA, etc) or can it be upgraded? - do the current, more expensive, competitors have a decent PIM and all the functionality of the palms (I see new/like new TXs and Mylo2s on ebay for 150-250 and Sony TH55, n810s for 250-350.. can I get an older model and still be happy?) I, like others I'm sure, really need a pda PIM and wifi, not a smartphone. So, can I slip a TX into my pocket, take notes, get my alarms, read my ebooks, listen to mp3s AND get wifi to surf the web and email... or do I have to keep looking??? Thanks! - jack Julie,
