PDA's

[Grant Lamontagne]

We have an interesting discussion going on in SOSAK right now about PDA's and I thought it might be neat to see what folks here are using.  I know alot of you are SOSAK members, but then there are alot that aren't.

I currently alternate between a Palm Tungsten E and an ASUS MyPal a600 because I can't seem to let go of my old Palm.  It's an inferior machine in a number of ways, but it still does alot of things that my trusty Pocket PC doesn't do, or at least that I haven't figured out how to do yet!

I've always been a Palm guy, and I still like Palm, but it looks like they are being edged out by the Windows machines- Bill Gates isn't really into sharing markets.  Of course I have found that my Palm syncs better and easier with my desktop than my Pocket PC does, which I thought was funny.

I've mostly stuck to Palms, having had a Palm IIIe, m-125 and the Tungsten E, but I've also owned a CLIE and was quite pleased with that.  It didn't last all that long with me though as everything else I have takes SD cards, and the CLIE, being a Sony product, takes Sony memory sticks only.  My mp3 players, Palms, PPC, digital cameras etc all take SD cards.  I refuse to buy anything that doesn't, but the CLIE was a gift, and such a darned good machine I couldn't turn it away.

What PDA (if any) do you like or use?

I've had a Palm III, IIIc, and a Tungsten T.  I absolutely loved the Tungsten T.  The small size was great.  It just died a couple months ago after a lot of hard use, and I haven't replaced it yet...

[Grant Lamontagne]

Any ideas about what you think might replace it?  Gonna make the jump to Pocket PC or stick with Palm?  I like the Palm OS better but I don't like that it's on it's way down, or that the LifeDrive is the only model they really have left.  Such a waste really.

I've been seriously considering picking up another T series (T2 or T3) off of ebay.  The problem is that I mainly just used it to keep track of my bank accounts.  I can't really justify that much money for something that will only be "an electronic checkbook"

The T3 is a great unit.I use mine all the time and the expanding screen is great for watching movies at the doctor's office!

......and the batteries almost never go dead on you. I love it!

I use a Palm T3. I have had a MS machine and used to have Psions (anyone remember those). IMO Palm wins every time they have always synchronized the easiest. I also had a MS smart phone that was just as bad while the treo is a lot better. When/if this one I am after a T/X.

Well, I've been using my Tapwave Zodiac for a few years now and been pretty happy with it. I think my battery is getting gimpy with old age though and now that tapwave went under I dunno even know if I can get a new one.

Might be time to look for something new!!
