I need a PDA, and don't want to give up my MP3 player. Which brand/model of
PocketPC makes the best MP3 player? Size/weight/cost is unimportant.

But, since I'm really interested in built in wireless, I think that narrows
it down to a couple of models (Axim and 5555)?

I use mine as a MP3 (and movie) player in my car and as a wireless device in
my home. I bought the 2215 because of the SD AND CF slots. I just could not
find a SD card that was big enough to hold everything I wanted while I can
use the Microdrive (I currently have a 1GB one and 2 340MB ones that I carry
around) in the CF slot which I can then remove when I get home and throw in
my CF Wireless card. I have a 128MB SD card that I keep in the SD slot all
the time that has my programs/program data on it so the CF slot is basically
just for the toy aspect of the unit but it is nice having all the options
available to me

I use my Toshiba 755 for MP3s and OGGs. I did some research on laptops and
found Toshiba had the best quality audio ins and outs at the time (about a
year ago.) I dunno if anyone has done an analysis of PDAs.

Lots of storage is nice, so having both CF and SD slots is nice; CF is still
cheaper, and you can now get 2 and 4 gigs(!)
