I have always had Palm so if I had to replace the TX it would probabl be another Palm, although they seem to be getting away from the Handheld market in favor of phones.
If they were still producing the 505 it would be an almost forgone conclusion that I would buy one for my wife for Christmas. The next logical option would be the 600. The 900 might be really cool but who knows for sure when it will be available. The new IREX looked like a really good unit but the $450 orice tag is limiting. So that brings us to the Nook and for something that will be released in a month there seems to be very little info on it. Right now it looks like the 600 is going to win out.
