I want to get my wife a palm pilot for Christmas. Any suggestions for a good PDA that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

My wife is not too technically inclined, so it has to be relatively easy to use. She need something to organize her schedule, keep e-mail addresses, etc. We have Office XP, so I would like to get something compatible with that.

Any suggestions?

Palm has a new one out that looks like its for chicks, its called the Zire. its 99 bucks at Staples, its good for what you want. And will work with your XP.

Most of the Palm compatibles can be linked to the MS Office suite.  

I like the Handspring Visors myself (I've bought 3 two for me and one for my wife).  I've got a docking port at work and home.  The work one is set to interact with Outlook (for my e-mail, calander, notes, and phone book), while at home it interacts with the Palm PIM (Personal Information Manager).

The Visors are usually a good deal check them out at [url]http://www.handspring.com[/url].  I am not a fan of the Handspring Treo though.

BTW I got the one for my wife last Christmas and she loves it - couldn't operate without it now.

These are THE hot item she will shurly love!

DELL's sweet little PocketPC's for 200 bucks, you get a 300Mhz Xscale Processor and a great color screen.

You can upgrade to a 400 mhz for 300 bucks but there is a backorder on them.
