OT/ PDA

Hi All

I know we have a few computer-savvy people here, so a
question for the experts.

I was considering a lap-top for my next trip, but I've
rejected the idea as too heavy and unwieldy to lug around.
However, a friend suggested a PDA.

I know nothing about them or which are good and bad.

My primary use would be to make hotel and similar bookings
via the net. So it would need to be usable as a web-browser
and able to connect to the web by either phone or wifi. On
wifi - about all I know is the term, not how to use it or to
connect with it.

The secondary uses, in order of priority:

email; essential
notepad/word as a diary; essential
GPS; nice but not mandatory
music, video - not needed.

Reasonable battery life, and a multi source power capability
for the charger would also be an advantage.

Hints or advice please?

TIA

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
