WelchWrite Holiday Gift Guide #1
Welcome to the first installment of the WelchWrite Holiday Gift Guide. Each day I will post a new gift recommendation for the favorite high-tech geeks on your shopping list.
Today we strat our list with the Palm TX handheld, the latest entry in a long line of handheld computers from Palm, Inc.
My venerable Treo 90 has developed screen problems over the last few months, so it is about time to replace it. I don't normally carry a laptop with me when I travel or work at a client's site. My current laptop is way to large to be comfortable and 99% of the information I need can be contained in my Treo. That said, it would be nice to be able to receive email and browse the web when I am out, yet still near a Wi-Fi access point. Since many of my clients have wireless routers, this would be a great way to keep up with my email, even when I am away from the office. Sure, I could upgrade to a Blackberry, but since I would use other features more than the email, it seem a bit pricey for my needs.

The TX rocks. My Palm is an old IIIx but my wife recently upgraded to the TX as an early Christmas present. The WiFi is nice, though I obviously prefer browsing the web on a PC. It has an excellent looking screen and can be used as a pretty good MP3 player. POP mail works fine, too.

Thanks for the hands-on comments. How fast is the unit when browsing the web and receiving email. Is it painful to use the web browser, or just inconvenient due to the screen size?
Thanks!
