I suggest that you wait for the next 'wave' of Palm handhelds to come out.
As for synchronising Outlook, you can do that perfectly well with Palm OS.
In fact, Palm also supports other mail applications like Thunderbird. If
you use Linux on a desktop machine, remember that the Palm will be
compatible with it, whereas a PPC won't.
Do not choose a PDA because of Flash. Choose what works, what is reliable,
and what is open enough to allow you to migrate between platforms and
applications. Don't get yourself in a data lock-in situation.
