Author's Review
I just love my PDA. I used to have a Palm V and this is like driving a sports car. The amount memory available with the internal memory and SD cards, I have over 2 Gbs.

I love the palm GPS navigator 5 that uses the Tom Tom software. I love being able to pin point how long a 40 mile drive is going to take. I also like to search for a particular restaurant nearby. This is one of the best application for the TX that you can purchase in addition to the out of the box apps.

The other app I use a bunch is the Media (Photos & Videos) application I can show of my kids this way. I keep a lot of pictures on mine. Another thing I love is swapping SD cards between my digital camera and the TX and just browse them on the TX before loading them to a computer. The screen size makes playing pictures and videos better than the classic iPod.

I do have to charge it much more often that the old Palm V but I can still get about 4 days charge with it. I notice the higher drain when I use my Bluetooth GPS or WiFi. Both seem to demand much more power. I don't use the speaker much. Since I already have an iPod, I don't play much music with it, although with the SD cards it can make a nice MP3 player.

If you want on of the best PDAs, get this one.
