When I was looking for a PDA, I looked at the Aero range from Compaq.

The only thing that put me off was their physical size - it would have to go
in a briefcase rather than a pocket - and hence I bought a Palm V.

I understand that WinCE - good name that - was to be upgraded/rebranded as
Pocket Windows but their web site shows it as WinCe 3.0.

The pre-release shots showed a special zooming browser, IIRC.

Now, call me old-fashioned, but if I want to browse the web I'll use a
laptop or desktop with a faster connection than 9600bps and a bigger
screen...

Hope this helps.
