T3 - I'll be back (on a Palm)

I haven't posted in a few days bacause I have been too busy i) being ill again and ii) playing with a new toy. It isn't quite a year yet since I moved back to a Palm OS PDA after spending 18 months on The Dark Side, using an iPaq PPC. Although the Clie T675 was a great way to easy back into life with a Palm OS PDA, a number of shortcomings and annoyances (like proprietary expansion formatshave recently prompted me to look for my next PDA. I didn't look for long. The Palm Tungsten T3 stood head and shoulders above the rest in terms of matching my requirements.

As with many PDA users, I want my unit to be all things. I need a high end business machine, capable of storing and showing the wide ranging mass of data I use in my daily work. I require a PDA that is intuitive to use, easy to become familiar with and that allows user configuration to make it fit me rather than the other way round. I want a cool gadget that will provide me with enough toys and fun to fill the few slack moments I get in between work responsibilities and fatherhood. The T3 does all these and more.

For those looking for more details should check out the basic specs, the datasheet, The Register's review or Ed Hardy's Brighthand review.
