I may be looking for a handheld PC for home use. Im not really looking for anything fancy, just something to wirelessly surf the net on while away from home (or check out wifi hotspots with it) :D

HP has a rather large lineup of good quality PDAs and has imo excellent support. Dell and Fujistu-Siemens are also worth looking at. Plain PDAs without integrated cellphones but wifi and bluetooth are cheap these days.

Depends on how old, what OS and if it has a slot for a memory card of the SD type.

UMPCs are the most fully featured (and expensive). They run Windows XP with a 7" touchscreen.

If you want a PDA sized device, as well as all the pocketpc versions, look at the Nokia 770. It's limited in other areas, but designed purely as a hand held web browser.

This year CNET.uk put a Newton MessagePad 2000 against a $1000 Samsung Q1.   They chose the Newton.   The Newton was WAY ahead of it's time.

Mine's a 130...  The same one Steven Segal used to blow up a train in Under Seige 2.  
The Under Seige without Erica Eleniak...

Just admit it. You want to be able to train your Hobo when you are out during the day.
