Do you own a PDA?
 

do you own a personal digital assitant (PDA).

I just got an HP iPaq HP1945 today and it looks cool. I'm getting a wi/fi card to use wireless internet.

Yes, I love it.

Si.

It's very simple though. I got it for Christmas when PDA's first started coming out.

I have a Palm m500. If it isn't in my Palm, it doesn't exist. ;)

My little brother got a free palm from school...he's only in HS mind you. Every kid got one for enrolling in this brand new public school.

It's pretty cool, it has replaced all the novels he would have been checked out. Now they just download the book, can make notes for particular passages and stuff like that.

Teachers can also upload powerpoint slides and notes to all the students palms as well.

That said, he and his friends mostly use them for games rather than any actual school work.

are you serious?!?! our inner city public schools are desperate for technology in the classroom like computers and tvs and everyone at that school gets a free PDA. nice school district. lucky kids, i hope they appreciate what they have

I have a Palm Tungsten T and I'd be so lost without it. It's so much better than carrying around a bulky planner.

The best thing, though, is a program called Vindigo which you can download at www.vindigo.com for $30-some per year. Basically, it gives you restaurant, shopping, and entertainment guides plus maps for all major US and international cities. SUCH a huge plus when I'm out on the road for work and want to have some fun!

i have a Tungsten T2. i love it, but don't use it nearly as much as i should. maybe that will change once class starts next week.

My dad got me and my little sister Tungstun E's for christmas. Her being the Bio Tech Grad student opened it immediately and started making lists, entering dates, etc.

Me being the middle school PE teacher threw it in my dresser and opened it a week later. I use it more now with it being Basketball season and such, but i'll probably put it to better use this summer when i start school again.

I knew i wanted to get a MP3 card for it, and now i'm thinkin i want that card that RedRose is talkin about.

nope, don't have one, don't need one, don't want one either.... atleast for now.

Sony Clié SL10

It's the cheapest thing I could find with removable media.

I have an m105, bwahaha!

stupid me was wondering how i can own a 'public display of affection' :p

I got one of the lower end Palms a few years ago for Christmas, and I never use it anymore. I like being able to look at things days in advance and it's not that easy to do with the Palm. I do use the alarm a lot though, when I have to crash on my friends' couches :D

My bf gave me a Palm m130 for Christmas last year. I don't use it as much as I probably should; though, I do utilize the Palm desktop software and PDA hotsync feature. Hotsync is pretty cool!


.....Kelly :)

Nope, don't need one and don't want one.

I have a Palm Zire 71 that my sis got for me for HS graduation.. love that thing.. no one ever knows that I'm taking pictures of them too ;)

The latest....

The greatest.....

The Treo 600

Combination PDA w/ standard QWERTY keyboard, cel phone (Sprint), and wireless web. REAL web, not just itty bitty little clippings. Along w/ the rest of the PDA stuff (camera, databases, and slot for MP3 cards, etc)

Yes, I am a geek and proud. Even have the "Starfleet Academy" college sticker on the back of my car to prove it.

:D

Used to before a psycho date threw it into the ocean...wtf

My bf gave me his old Palm when he upgraded to a new Palm. I have never used it though. I probably should try it out.

I have an IPAQ. It's useful sometimes. I had to get it for work because a group of people I support bought them so I had to learn it to teach THEM how to use them.

I prefer a standard pocket calendar. You know, the kind with the plastic cover that looks about the size of a checkbook? I like to keep it simple.

I could see my self using a PDA if I was still in the political world. But, in education, my life is more about planning lessons than planning my appointments and client meetings.

I too have a lower end Palm that I only use to store names and addresses. My employer uses Lotus Notes :rolleyes: for email so importing/exporting email messages (which I really need) is out of the question.

When they upgrade (if ever) to MS Outlook, I will probably upgrade.

I've heard there's a program that will let you hotsync between Notes and your Palm. It might only be for the calendar, though.

*bump*

I'd like to download AOL instant messenger onto my PDA. I went to the AIM site, and it looks like I have to pay $19.95. Is there not a free version?

i guess i am underusing mine...
it's a good place to stick addresses, phones and e-mails, passwords and the like.
otherwise, sigh!

I had an iPAQ HP4355 with bluetooth and wifi and all that cos I'd intended on getting the bluetooth keyboard to take classnotes but I exchanged it for an iPOD when I realized the impracticality of trying to do that. I'm glad I did. I want another cheaper palm just for the basic functions...I had a palm V that I have a nice Dooney & Bourke caseholder for but I burnt the damn thing out in England when the computer adapter slightly malfunctioned.

I have a Sony Clie SJ30 that I used until recently when I got a Sidekick. I do not use the Sidekick as a phone, just for calendar, address book, email, instant messenger and mobile web. I love it. It is terrific. There are things I would change though, the primary one being that it doesn't sync.

I would get the Treo or a berry but I need a phone with an analog band where I live, so keeping an additional phone seems like the only option right now.

i would have to agree with tippiechickl on this...i dont have time for myself much less planning shit in a handheld calculator planner thingie ma giggie however it might would make my life easier if i did so i wouldnt forget my appointments ect! babies make you loose your whole mind!:eek:

I have a T-Mobile Sidekick II, it replaced my Blackberry. (I got it for my birthday.)

Phone, Text Messaging, AOL Instant Messenger, Email delivery, Satelite Web access, Event Calendar, To-Do List, Address Book, Camera (though, it will never replace my Cannon Elph), Note Pad, Calculator, and Games.

You can download more games and programs, but I haven't seen any that I can't live without yet.

But you have to hand it to them, the name Sidekick really fits, I don't go anywhere without it.

I need help!

I have a Sony Clie NR70V that I absolutely love and have used for a long while, but it's time to move on and get a new PDA. I wanted to get another Clie but apparently Sony is no longer making them. :(

What else is out there?

FYI - My phone service is with Sprint and their combined phone/PDAs are Palm, which I don't really care for.

I do not want one, and I hope no one ever buys me one!

I'm an old-fashioned girl. I prefer my five-subject spiral. (And my laptop [for my room; I don't carry it around often.. so frail].)

Bringing this back ttt. . .

I'm thinking about purchasing a PDA, and am looking at the Tungsten E. I've seen one on Overstock.com, and the reviews for it (blemished and out of the box) seem to be pretty good. Any other suggestions? I want the graffiti feature, and probably won't use it for much more than scheduling appointments. I realize that I would probably be "underusing" it, but with time, would begin to use the other capabilities.

Thanks!

I have been using an HP iPAQ pocket PC for the last 3 months and I love it! My Franklin Covey is in the garage sale pile never to be used again.

I use mine 99% for work / 1% for personal stuff. I love it because my company now uses MS Outlook so with ActiveSync - everything is continuously synced (email/calender/notes/task/etc.). This works for me because I use Outlook for EVERYTHING (my daily schedule, etc.) so I know that my PDA will always be updated (unlike a paper planner when I had to make sure stuff was written down).

I mostly use the "writing pad' feature when I'm in a meeting or if I'm out and need to write something down in a hurry, but it is easy to use though.

I don't use mine to surf the 'net or anything like that because quite frankly - I spend too much time on the'net as it is. If I need directions, movie listings, or something like that I just use my cell. I do have my PDA set to automatically download the "Our Daily Bread" devotionals, but that's about it for me and 'net.

I love mine :)
