Sure, I realize people would like to carry all their files on one device... heck, so would I! (But I'll point out, we're not in that thread...  ) If you don't have the option of carrying memory cards with you, smaller files are clearly the way to go, forget the PDFs (and leave the movies at home, too).
But if your device includes a case that can carry even a few SD cards, for instance, you're talking about being able to take gigs of files with you. My PDA case carries a 2GB and 4GB card, so I have 6GB+ of storage space while on the move. That'll hold most of the docs on my PC's hard drive! And in that case, a 2MB PDF file is no worry. |
Between my 4GB SD card and my 8 GB CF card, I have 12 GB of storage card memory always installed in my pocket pc. And that's old technology. The newest pocket pcs can accommodate SDHC cards - some of these cards can get as large as 32 GB....storage space and file size is just not such a big issue these days.
Oh, and I do watch movies on my Pocket PC too (but that's a different topic altogether).
