Palm Centro Smartphone — 

I love my Palm Centro.  Not quite a replacement for my computer, but it's portable and I can do work from anywhere--look up internet sites, create word and excel programs, and check/send e-mail.  Oh, and it's my cell phone, too, so no more carrying a cell phone and a palm pilot.

One of the main draw backs is the fact that mobile internet is still new enough that not all pages are viewable, and my mobile browser does not do adobe flash, which is a big component of many, many video intensive sites and there are also some buttons that just are not functional on my mobile browser as well (such as the "save drafts" or "publish" buttons when I tried to update a draft from my Palm Centro a little while ago--hence, I must do my review on a regular computer).  However, with how intense web pages are these days with add on programs and graphics, I think it is still doing well for the amount of time this technology has been out.

So, all in all I am very happy with my Palm Centro, even with the tiny qwerty keyboard (which can get tiring if I'm doing too much typing, but a vast improvement over older palms when I had to use the cumbersome palm language or hunt and peck on the onscreen keyboard to write anything).  I'm on the go most of the time and don't have much time to sit at my personal computer, so this has been a great and efficient addition to my life.
