I've been picking up used windows mobile based phone running 6 and 6.5 off ebay pretty cheap. We give them to employee's on the floor who need portable email access during their shift that they can't justify a BB for. I sync them with our exchange over the internal Wifi network and away they go. Get one with a camera and they can snap pictures of issues they have and email them just like a normal smartphone but with no monthly fees. There's plenty of apps out there to map network drives so you can copy files back and forth if you don't want to make them dock and email won't cut it. And they all come with pocket office.

We want to go the inexpensive way with no data plan. The PDA will have to sync with outlook mail, calendar, and contacts. will have to be able to open word and excel documents. will have to be able to copy files to it. (not email) will have to sync either by usb cable or wireless. (preferrably usb cable.) Have a newer operating system. (it seems that all palm devices are end of life or phones.) As far as I know the iTouch will not open word or excel documents and you cannot copy documents to them. They want something small, net books and iPads are too large. iPAQ, a little bigger than wanted. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
