As part of their "Gifts For Grads," PC Mag has a very nice article of the current offerings in PDA's. There has definitely been some convergence in this area as the differences between Pocket PC's and Palms are starting to get subtle.
In terms of physical differences, there are only a few basic generalizations to be made. First, with their E2, T5, and now LifeDrive models, Palm has caught up with the Pocket PC platform in terms of using its handhelds as portable flash drives for storing files (a big improvement over older models). Top-of-the-line Pocket PCs also have 640x480 VGA screens, which make them pretty awesome for Web browsing and remote desktop access; Palms top out at 320x480. Touch screen quality is largely on a par between the devices available on the two platforms, though you'll still pay more for the higher quality, and brighter screens available on high end models.
I'm still salivating over the Palm LifeDrive personally.
