I listen to audiobooks, use email, and surf the Web constantly, so the iPod Touch or iPhone are a great fit for me. I’ve had Palm-based PDA’s as well, and the new ones have similar featuers, but Apple’s products might have been designed with me in mind.

I ended up going with a Treo phone using Palm OS on Sprint because I have been using Palm OS for years in my various PDA’s and Sprint is our best wireless carrier here. The ability to carry all my farm documents, long term plans, grazing data, butcher and hay data as well as federal required id info on all my sheep and replacing completely our wire line phone is a big plus. I never use the e-mail or MP3 abilities of my Treo but I constantly use the to do list, calendar and reading of both Word and Excel documents and of course the phone part.

My suggestion would be for folks to look at what they need carefully and what might make things easier for you to do your work.

I often do all my phone calls to customers and suppliers while I’m standing around waiting for water tanks to fill.
