I am developing a networking windows mobile application and want to find an
inexpensive and reliable windows mobile device to target. I want my
customers to be able to afford to buy the devices inexpensively. any
suggestions? i dont think i need the latest technology. are there any
models whose prices are coming down significantly? any ideas how to best
research this question?

thanks - paul

Paul,

Somewhat of a loaded question because there are a variety of devices out
there that are reasonably priced these days. If your users do not need an
integrated keyboard, I would suggest the MWg Atom Life. It is a small,
powerful device with plenty of storage room (1GB). It doesn't have a built
in keyboard (soft keyboard on the screen only) and the battery life is less
than desirable at times. Another option is the HTC Touch. It is small and
less powerful than the Atom Life but the battery life is much better. It
doesn't have a lot of storage memory however.

Look on Expansys at the various deals they have running.

Regards,

ah - thanks. i should definitely qualify that. i DO need a qwerty
keyboard. ease of typing is key.
the requirements are:

* qwerty keyboard
* supports http network communication
* robust windows development platform
* cheap

This is kind of tangential, but do you know of a Windows 5.0 or
6.0 app that does hierarchical lists like the Palm app
"BrainForest"?

If you've never heard of BrainForest, picture the PC version of
MS Word running in Outline mode - which would do everything I
have in mind.
