Hot-sync as a back-up method? Not a good plan if you're spending 2 days or more away from the office or your laptop... That's always been my problem with palm (at least with the ones without wireless/modem so you can zap your back-up from where ever you are)... Gimme a built-in flash/usb disk for fast, easy back-ups, or no sale. An iPOD would be even better, but now we're talking real money on top of the PDA! If you're married to your desk and have access to sync all the time, then a sub$200 is fine. Other than that, built-in flash, or wireless or even modem is needed and this is where prices start going up. Garth. >>>> And data backup?
