TankerBob wrote the second part of his essay "Moving from Palm to PocketPC" (part one) in which he compares memory, syncing, fonts and offline readers for each platform. His second week bottom line:

This adventure has provided unexpected amusements. Folks at work have started to visit my office simply to see what I think of the PPC vs. Palm issue at this stage of the game. Some aren't even techno-geeks. So far, I like the Axim X50v a lot, but I'm also starting to re-appreciate some of the advantages that the Palm OS holds. No device or system is perfect. I assure you, though, that only one device will end up in my pocket at the end of it all. I'm not willing to put money on which it will be at this point.

If you are willing to make the transition, remember to also check out Bob's related essays (I Took The Plunge, PalmOS to Pocket PC: Part I - Intro and PalmOS to Pocket PC: Part II - Conversion).
