PDA just for Pleco

[Rosa VA]

A friend recently introduced me to Pleco and I finally decided that was the only reason I could ever want a PDA for. So I'd like to buy the cheapest PDA possible soley to run PlecoDict and maybe add a few contacts - but I'd be using it mainly as a dictionary. I thought about the Zire 21 but I'm more inclined to get the Zire 31 (which isn't *that* cheap either...) because of the expansion slot.

In fact, how low can I go hardware-wise and still run PlecoDict?

Thanks in advance everyone,
r.

See http://www.pleco.com/whichpalm.html for a detailed answer to this question. Between the two you mention I'd recommend the 31 precisely because of the expansion slot, but you can go a lot lower if you buy a used model instead. (in fact, these days you can get a Tungsten T2 on eBay for about what you'd pay for new Zire 31, and the T2 is a significantly better machine - even a Tungsten T3 is only around $200 and for that you'd be getting the best possible system to run PlecoDict on).
