i'm trying to decide between a pda vs. ipod - would there be one that can do both? i'm totally ignorant with both technologies, don't know a lot about them. i mostly want music, but would like something to organize my schedule too.

If you get a Pocket PC phone, then it can act as a PDA, computer, organizer, e-mail, web browser and mp3 player. You just need to evaluate what you need. Do you need an organizer, phone or mp3 player?
The problem with using a PDA/Pocket PC as an mp3 player, you are very limited in the amount of songs you can store. The largest mini-SD card is 2GB. If you get an iPod, you can get up to 80GB of space. Considering a song is about 5MB, then 2GB will allow you to store up to 400 songs, where 80GB would allow you to store 16,000 songs.
Since you want mostly for music, iPod is the best way to go. You can upgrade your cell phone to a pocket pc.

Ideally to me it sounds like you would be better suited to get an mp3 player personally i wouldn't recommend the ipod as they don't have a radio receiver perhaps another brand I like the Zune, however it really depends on how much music you are planning on listening too if you aren't looking to store a 300 disc collection on it you may be better off getting a cell phone that plays mp3's (such as the moto razr 3m or samsung u520 there are many more but I am with alltel and these are 2 they offer) as you can also set up calenders with events and timers and have it with you for an mp3 player/ phone.

ipod certainly is better for music, but not much features like a pda
