We are thinking of buying a Pocket PC to help us with numerous tasks around the house. I was wondering the following:

How good an MP3 player does the PPC make? Is the audio quality on par with a dedicated player such as an iPod or some non-Apple brand? We would likely use the unit to pipe MP3s por WMAs from our desktop system to our stereo although portable use is of interest as well. We assume that total song capacity is a function of the size Flash card you use?
How does one input into the thing. Does it use a graffitti scripting like the Palm or does it accept natural writing like my Windows tablet?
Do the units come with the PPC versiosn of the standard MS office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) or must these be bought seprately. What about MS Money? Can one work with a stand alone version of Money that doesn't require the desktop version. Finally, do they come with a database of some type.

Thanks for your input.

Eric
