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.

Sony Clié SL10

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

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

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!
