Pocket PC - Purchase for Pleco

[Anonymous]

I'm looking to buy a pocket PC to use specifically with Pleco.

Any recommendations on which brand and model is the best with the fewest known bugs with Pleco?

So far I've heard of Axim which is a little more expensive? How about HP iPAQ?

Thoughts and suggestions please!

There's so little variation between individual Pocket PC models these days that it really doesn't make much difference which model you purchase - the main things to look for are price, support, and any specific features (like WiFi) that you might find useful outside of PlecoDict. Our software should have pretty much the same level of bugginess on any Pocket PC model.

The Delll Axim and HP iPAQ are both popular series, the general impression I get is that Dells tend to have slightly better tech support (particularly if you buy through their business division) and cost a bit less than the iPAQs but often have relatively poor battery life. Your best bet would probably be to look around the internet for reviews of whichever specific models you're considering - those reviews should have much more detailed information on battery life, performance, etc. http://www.brighthand.com/reviews/ is a good place to start for this, since they link to reviews from numerous websites all around the internet.
