Which PDA for Mac
I need a PDA, needs to be able to sync with Entourage for MAC and would like wireless and gps if possible (but not essential). Would also be good to be able to read word and excel documents.

Any one have any recommendations?

some kind of windows mobile device is probably your best bet given what you say you need. if i was buying now I'd be looking at some version of the new HTC Tytn 2 ( HTC: Products: HTC TyTN II ) - not sure which phone companies are selling it as yet.

Your main issue will be with syncing information - unless you're running windows on the Mac, you're probably going to be stuck using 3rd party software - Missing Sync, which is frankly shit. It works, but it's flaky. Be warned!

I have one on T-Mobile (MDA Vario III), although I'm not syncing it with a Mac.

I got one of these Palm - Products - Palm® Treo™ 680 smartphone

Syncs with a Mac according to the paperwork. I use mine with winxp so can't comment on how good it is but Palm devices seem to work well.

There are also Tide Prediction, deco software and gas mixing programs available for Palm. Everything on one device!
