My girlfriend just bought a HP Journada. She was initially interested in the new Palm Pilot 505. But I quickly pointed out to her that the Hp is an actual PC with 32MB, and colour display for the same price as the 8MB Palm(basically an electronic journal) with black&white display. Yes it is slightly bigger and heavier but what it can do more than offsets this. The Compaq is definitely more attractive , but the extras, like expansion cards(which have to be Compaq) are bulky and expensive compared to the HP.The HP extras seem to be more reasonably priced and aftermarket extras are available.
