Preferably cheap ones!
If I would buy a Palm today, I'd go for the Palm T|X... the "more bang-for-the-buck" device that I have ever seen! But if you want something really cheap, you can use any "old" Palm with 8Mb of RAM (Palm IIIxe, Zire 21, ...) to use PAdict and a few other applications. Here's what I carry on my Zire 21:
- PAdict (4.6Mb)
- English<->Portuguese dictionary (1Mb)
- a copy of some pages of this site (Reviewing the Kanji, about 500Kb)
- Plua (programming language, about 250kb)
- some texts about japanese grammar, one or two e-books and a few other utilities and applications
As you can see, there's no room for games or other memory hungry applications. On the other hand, I don't get worried when I bring my cheap Palm to the beach or other places where electronics in general can be in danger. And what's more important to me above all: the battery life is great! More than 4 days for the Zire 21 (internal rechargeable battery), and more than 30 days for the Palm IIIxe (AAA bateries).
