Simple PDA?
My wife's Palm Tungsten E just died. She uses it mainly for calender, contacts and tracking purchases, with the occasional photo viewing. She liked the screen. After year's of using Palm devices, there's lots on her PC in Palm format. She does not need a phone, media player, outlook syncing, bluetooth or mini-computer.
Would a Tungsten E2 be the best replacement or is there something else to consider?

Keep it simple. She knows Palm, so stick with that.
They actually have some Black Friday deals going on at the moment too:

Thanks... I'm looking for the exact same thing.. I just want to keep my life with me in one place. 
I don't mind having a separate phone.

@Scott - thanks for the sale info. Prices were higher when I checked earlier today.
Simple is good, but not having to re-enter data or find good conversion software is more important
The TX looks nicer than the E2.
@Allan - she just got an Archos 605, which is great. She chose it over the iTouch.
In theory, Archos will come out with widgets that will have much of the Palm functionality. I have my doubts. Paper is the other main alternative.
thanks
