what's with PDA 's

Eric Richards · 05-18-2006, 08:18 AM

What is the story with PDAs? what should one look for?

I was thinking of writing some new pages for my web site in notepad (or whatever) at work and transfer to my main computer at home, then upload them to the web site.

I wonder what else one can do with it, I went into Dork Smith five minutes before closing tonight but they were useless (as normal).

I use my PDA for everything- I keep track of my homework in it, I keep my appointments in the calendar, I know how Skype for Pocket PC on it, of course a few games, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, and lots more. It's literally just a miniature computer...you can do [just about] anything with it.

So how would you describe your PDA computermaineack? is it a cheapish one or a more versatile one.

I used to have the HP iPaq pocket PC, there great but i didnt think it was worth it for me. Some of the new ones now have wifi, and allow you to check your mail and im with it.

When i had my iPaq, it frequently lost the signal when i was right next to the router, but they were just realeased. They may have the bugs worked out now.

BTW, do they have a sort of "microsoft update" for Pocket PC's?

I have a palm z22, it is really basic and small but i really like it, it has everything i need, for making notes and writing ideas down, although unfortunately it hasn't got a memory card slot, which when i bought it i thought i wouldn't need, but it owuld be useful

I used to have a PDA. It's a fun little toy! You can play games on it, listen to MP3s and such. During school, I typed all my notes on it, and even loaded one of my books onto it for a class. I finally sold it though because I mostly typed on it and wanted something a bit better(IE my laptop) but I do miss it. Dad recently let me use his old Palm, but it's just not the same as a nice, new PDA

plus you can watch movies on it and stuff. it really impresses the ladies (and everyone else pretty much) at school.
