Who uses a PDA?

Jeremy Buloch · March 9, 2003, 01:03

I'm curious as to who uses a Palm Pilot (PDA)?
Just vote and say the vote in the post, and discuss.

Keep a good natured attitude as well.

If you want you can post the specs too.

I had a Palm version somedamnthing, but it's gotten lost somewhere in my room...I think...

I voted "use" because I would if I could find mine.

The only way I'm gonna win those wars is if I use MY weapon of mass distruction: a lit match...

Anyway, maybe later this year I'll get a new one *cough* and not lose it *cough* any suggestions for the less than $300 catagory of PDAs?

I got my PDA for $130.

It was reconditioned so maybe you should get a reconditioned handheld,

Vacuum Wars

I think you shouldn't do that, your PDA would be toast, but if its edible then you have no need to get real toast.

BTW: My PDA is very special to me.

Its a cool one if not a bit gray. I would like a color one but mine is perfect for my needs and it has great 3D games.

Forgot to put this:

There are some nice sites that you can get PDA's for low bucks such as: http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/robotics/store.html

Who uses PDAs? Management students...

Who needs to use PDAs? Not Management students...

I have several PDAs but I don't use any. I gave my expensive Psion to my SO, she needs it.

Q Classic · March 9, 2003, 15:26

I have an IPAQ 3765. Fairly useful, though much better ones are out now.

very useful for typing up notes in classes. easy to use, not much to carry. very convenient. no more paper for me.

and I play NES games on the emulater on it

I have a Palm Pilot that my dad gave me. It's pretty old, and I don't use it too often.

Your PDA is more powerful than my desktop computer, and that concerns me.

My uncle gave me a Handspring Visor as a graduation present. I used it for about a semester before getting tired of it. Actually, it crashed and the memory got wiped out, and then my PC with the memory backup crashed before I could transfer the data back. I didn´t bother using it after that, because it really was not that useful. Writing on it was slow and annoying compared to making notes on paper. There just wan´t enough utility to justify the cost of batteries and the hassle of linking it to my PC. And I´m a computer geek who knows how to use the technology.

palm m105

Flare · March 11, 2003, 09:07

Palm m105 is my toy. ~weak grin~ Spent $160.00 for it and harly use it right now since nothing much is going on. When (if) I go back to school, then it will come in real handy!

(Edit to fix typo!)

SpencerH · March 11, 2003, 09:20

I'm waiting for voice recognition and real wireless broadband. Until then I'll use a dictaphone and sticky bits of paper.

Jarouik · March 11, 2003, 13:48

I've got Palm m130 - bought it when i got tired of the monochromacity of my old m100. Plus, it fits in the same leather case =)

I can recommend m130 for anybody looking for a PDA in the €300 (about $300) price range. Though color display may not be necessary, I would never go back to having to use a paper calendar, handwritten notes and such.

Jeremy Buloch · March 11, 2003, 21:16

I've been looking at a Compaq Ipaq H1910 for $150 should I get it?
