Looking for a new PDA

My Handspring Visor gave out a while ago, and now my laptop no longer holds
a charge, so I'm looking for a new eletronic gizmo. Requirements - full
size folding keyboard, good display (for outdoor use), fairly tough (taking
it riding, don't expect to fall over, but anything can happen). Wifi would
be nice, but not necessary. Looking under 400 US or 500 Can if possible.
Primary usage will be basic word processing, but I may be using it for
marking and lesson planning (entering teacher's college in sept.). Would
like to be able to use it for slide shows as well sometime down the road
(depending on what the school I end up at has in the way of equipment).
Doesn't matter what kind of media cards as I'll I've got now is smartmedia
and I know no one uses it anymore.

Thanks in advance

George

I've got an Asus MyPal a716 with extra battery for sale. $200 US plus
shipping/ins. You can buy a couple of keyboards for it (I use the Stowaway
IR keyboard). WiFi and Bluetooth, tough, light, nice screen. Used 4 months
with screen protector. All manuals, cables and original packaging.
