The great handheld debate, which do you choose, a Palm OS or a Pocket PC?
I feel the differences between them are mostly important for what you want to do. A Palm program is older and a little bit more difficult to use. They can typically only run 1 program at a time and may have memory restrictions. Because they have been out for a longer period of time however, there are a great many free or cheap programs for download.
Pocket PC on the other hand really is more like a mini computer. They tend to offer a more user friendly interface and the ability to use more than one application at a time. However, with newer technology usually comes more problems, and they tend to be a little bit more difficult to solve.
Running many programs at a time may slow down your software.
Below are a list of links that include comparisons of the 2:
