PDAxtreme

So basically, I need a good PDA/mobile device, for use as a medical student. A few absolute requirements:
(a) MUST have excellent, sensible, easy-to-use (or as as bst as can be expected) PDF viewing capability. I have a billion or so e-books, and I hate reading off of a big screen from a chair. DOC/XLS/TXT/HTML capability is very important as well, but PDF is the main thing. SO the device will hav to have a good sized screen as well.
(b) Wifi. Must have easily usable, good wifi connectivity.

GPS/mapping would be very nice, but not an absolute necessity.
That’s it. I don’t ned it for mp3s, photos, or any of that…

I dont know which is best for me, Palm or Windows platforms. I know there are a TON of medical refrence programs for Palm out there, and I really do need good medical refrence sopftware. I don’t know if the same is available on windows based devices, maybe they are. Would like flexibility…palm is probably a bit less flexible than windows, I would guess…but don’t know. Can i run regular exe’s on the windows platform devices?

Also, I would not be against getting a phone-PDA if such device were good…I have seen pretty cool WinCE Verizon PDA phones with many of the capabilities above, although I have Nextel. I have tried blackberrys but find them pretty set in stone and not flexible.

So, that’s it. Anybody have any recommendations? Thanks….
