I'm a bit annoyed that palm doesn't seem to have one with both wifi and
microphone (without needing to use add-on cards) so will plan to just
get a Z22 for the time being and wait until later before I make any
quick decisions on a more expensive PDA.

Hopefully it will let me use install "word to go" that came with my m130
(but good chance it won't) if that's the case i'll buy a word processor 
online.
