That would really depend upon the model you're looking at. Go to a Staples or Orifice Depot and look at all the models there. Pick one out with a USB port. There's litterally dozens of PDA's out there, with many different features. Do the research, pick what best suits you.

If you were to get one with a USB port you could get a Sandisk USB dongle up to 1gig to copy data onto. I believe they run around $120.00 but that price may vary.

lets say i was at a wifi spot and checking my email and wanted to download files from outlook, (for example photos, and other types of files) would it be possible to get a mini usb external hard drive and download them onto that? also, my second question..why exactly do you use the gps system? just to map out all the access points for future reference? all info is greatly appreciated.
To map trends in Wireless growth in any given area. I've seen a major growth in my area in the past 3 years. Where 3 years ago, I might find the odd AP here or there, now I find 100 - 200 just driving 10 miles.
