You could be right, I have been known to be wrong once before
, if he does mean pocket George and also browse the internet then a Palm phone is what he would need, but, it would still have to use the Palm OS and he would also have to have the use of a windows based pc so that he cold do a hotsync to update the PDA.
If you have a pc then there is no need to have a PDA that can access the internet, unless he wants to use the web while he is out and about.
