Excel graphs on PDAs??

[TUS 373]

As part of my recent return to studenthood, I now have to play around more with Excel spreadsheets and its graphing functions whilst on the move. I could really use a quick and portable PDA style solution to this rather than investing in a laptop.

I was looking at buying a 2nd hand HP Jornada 720 - but I'm getting the impression that as these devices use Pocket Windows and Pocket Excel, that they do not have the graphing functions like the fully fledged Windows products have. Hence, I may be able to create spreadsheets and put formulae in - but cannot render them visually in pie charts, histograms etc.

Do any of our educated IT boffins know of any PDAs that can support graph functions in Excell - or is it a case that none of them can do this?

TIA

You would do better buying a cheap laptop as PocketPC devices use a cut down version of excel, word, etc. The PocketPC version doesn't support half the functions in the full scale software.
