Default PDAs and IPODs

I want a PDA for Christmas, but I am not sure which one. Can anyone give me some input. I mainly need it to put some drug interaction programs on at work and to manage my address book, but I like bells and whistles also. Can anyone tell which ones are a good buy in the $100-$200 range.
Also does anyone have any experience with the new video IPODS? Do they work well?
Thanks

I have a 6 year old Handspring Visor. I still use it everyday. I'd like a new one also but this one has never failed me.

I have an Ipod and it works well but I don't use it for video. Who wants to watch an itty bitty screen.

I have an O2 mini and an iPod nano 4g and love them both for the purpose they serve. I don't really need anything technical on my pda so the lower ram and processor specs don't concern me but the dual functionality (i.e built in mobile) does since I don't want to carry around different units everywhere on the job.

I have a Dell AXIM with BT and 802.xx, it's pretty sweet. If you plan on getting alot of upgrades though (GPS, skins, etc), you pretty much have to get an IPAQ. THe accessories available for those things is ridiculous.

If I were you though, I'd get one of those new mini pc's that are out now. They're expensive but you can do an s-load of stuff with them.

I have a Palm Zire 72, its pretty functional, but you have to buy a seperate wireless card. I like it. It has a cam on it, not very good though.
