The Inq reviews the Abacus WristPDA, a watch running PalmOS 4.x, and concludes: "While the 'Industry Analysts' and other professionals of spreading Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) try to convince people that "bigger is better" and that a pocket device's OS must be as fat and bloated as Windows Mobile to be of use, the Abacus WristPDA shows that smaller and less bloated code can sometimes be better."

I've had a Tungsten E for awhile, and recently got a TX, and I have to agree with the sentiment expressed in the article. Both PDAs are small and light compared to the huge Windows Mobile PDAs you see out there, and the Palm interface is far simpler and more intuitive. Sure, the E has like a 120 MHz processor, while the TX has a 312 (in this day and age of 624 MHz monsters like the HX4700), but the screen is nice and clear, the battery lasts for days, and both are (gasp!) actually useful for pulling out and jotting down a quick note.
