If you just want a simple PDA, minus all the MP3 stuff -- get a Palm M500 series. If you have a tighter budget, then get the M100 series instead.
I use my Palm V for keeping contacts, appointments and taking down notes. No complains so far.
But you are looking for something with more function, like playing PDA games, MP3s and video clips. Then you will be better off with a pocket PC (HP Jornada, iPAQ -- Running on Windows CE)
