I like PalmOS on my Clie because 1) Its not microsoft, 2) It's established so there's a crapload of apps out for it and 3) I don't like the Windows-style interface on that small of a screen. Grafitti kinda sucks but you get used to it and there are hacks to make it a little better.

If you have a device with a bigger screen like those Sharp mini computers I'd say go with the PocketPC. My two cents.

Some PalmOS devices have QWERTY keyboards.

10 bucks says she wont use it after a month. I think they are a waste of money because they come with such little memory. Almost everything can be done on a cell phone now a days and as far as games go, just buy her a Game Boy SP.

Let's say that counseling can help some really screwed up situations.

Pocket PC As much as I'm trying to switch away from Microsoft I really like my Toshiba Genio E. Talk to boom at CompUSA. That's where I got mine. And I'm not so sure about palm os but pocket pc has writing recognition which I really like.
