Good PDA for use with Mac

Can anyone recommend a good PDA for use with the Macintosh? I really just need simple stuff (calendar, todos, address book). Currently use Google Calendar, but willing to switch to iCal (or sync with) if necessary. I liked Palm Pilots last time I used them, but that was 5 years ago.

It's a Pocket PC yes,...

It's a Pocket PC yes, running Windows Mobile 5.

I don't use Entourage no, I use Mail. I use a program I wrote to GTD as it were. I'm the developer of nActionr, which is a standalone product (right now) for Windows Mobile devices (with touchscreens right now, a Smartphone version will appear eventually).

I use nActionr as I would a paper based system, and by that I mean only putting in what it makes sense to put it. Email gets managed in Mail for example. I wouldn't transcribe them to a Hipster PDA and I don't transcribe them into the PDA.

I'm conscious that this is sounding more and more like an advert as I go on so I'll just say you can find more details at my website in my signature. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions too.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
