I'm getting a little off-topic here, but:
What model of Treo did you buy? I was looking at one recently and they
looked pretty neat...
Interested in a PIREP!

Well, I was an early adopter, I have a Treo 300. So you'd probably be
better of hearing from a Treo 650 user since that's what you'd be buying
now. The trick is to find sites that are optimized for the small
screen. They are out there if you look hard enough.

But some examples that I use when out of town in the plane:

AccuWeather Wireless Radar (decent image on the small screen)
Metars & TAFs
Raw images from weather.com and others (only works when the URL of the
image doesn't change)
Mobile Yahoo (maybe find a movie in a strange town)
Mobile Google
Mobile Mapquest
Mobile Phone Directories

The e-mail & PDA functions are also handy when your home is a tent in
the north 40 (shudders, preferring the Hilton any time.....)
