PDA's Do You Have One, and Which One Do You Have?

[Pliablemoose]

Like the title, haven't visited OT in a while and just got a Palm VIIx, use it to trade stocks @ work so I won't get fired for using Big Brother's internet access for my personal gain. My wife, MS low maintenance (seriously) saw it and demanded one, grabbed her a Visor Deluxe in blue, now she's addicted, came home the other day, gibbering about a friend beaming her games...

Maybe I'm totally geeked out, but they make me feel like I did when I got my first 8086 monochrome monitor PC in the mid 80's.

Compaq Aero 1500. Pocket PC ($300 retail) 16 mb RAM 16mb ROM, I think.
Got it free after my Compaq summer internship. Pretty good. especially pocket outlook calendar contacts tasks. Synchronization is nice.
But if I had to pay, I would get the Handspring visor deluxe.

I stand corrected. It's aero 1500 with pocket pc instead of win CE. it has 16 mb ram and 16 mb rom

I've got me a Visor Deluxe. And yes, like SuperTool implied, it was worth paying for.

Palm IIIx here with the cool color case found at palmcolors.com

Compaq doesn't make a 1600, you must be thinking of the 1500 which has 16MB RAM.

Anyway, I have a Compaq Aero 2110 (which I will be selling quite soon if NE1 is interested for ~$250):

24MB RAM
16MB ROM
PocketPC (WinCE 3.0) ROM upgrade
16Bit color
Serial connection
70MHz NEC MIPS processor

The reason why I am selling the Aero is b/c I just ordered a Compaq iPaq H3630!

32MB RAM
16MB Flash ROM
PocketPC
USB connection
206MHz Intel StrongArm processor

I also will be sending off for the CompactFlash Jacket tomorrow

YUMMY!!!!

Cassiopeia E-11 (WinCE), but hoping to upgrade to a Palm Vx. Maybe Sprint will hook up with Palm again and make a second-generation pdQ.

Why not go the PocketPC route? It's a far superior and more capable platform Not to mention mucho faster

palm IIIx

 

[vailman]

IBM z50. Got mine for $270 back when IBM starded dumping them. I use it as a baby laptop: I got a 350mb HD full of mp3's and a CF ethernet card. I do homework on the go using Pocket Office and I store all of my email on it. I sync and surf the web using the ethernet card at school and at home. It does everything I need, the only problem I have with it is that it's kinda slow.

I have the palm M100 (I'm a student and mainly use it for keeping track of my school assignments) I have to admit that my Dad's Vx is pretty nice but for the price the M100 was just right.

I just got a Casio Cassiopeia E-125 last week.

I tried to get an Ipaq, but I couldn't find one, and I didn't really feel like waiting forever. I'm really happy with my E-125 though, 150mhz MIPS, 32MB ram, CFII slot. It's a bit bulkier than the other PocketPC's, but it has the best screen out of any of them, and the button setup is perfect for games.

3Com Palm V....2MB is enough for me.

 

[Chooie]

Palm V overclocked to 32mhz

 

[prontospyder]

Chooie:

How do you overclock a Palm V? Does the PDA feel hot when overclocked?

*edit: found the software to do it.*

 

[Zucchini]

heh, does a viao z505js count? its like a supersize pda p3 650mhz 128mb at 4lb, too bad i can't stick it in my pocket

 

[Raspewtin]

I had a color HP WinCE. Biggest waste of cash, but that's probably lifestyle-related. I don't even wear a watch or have a calender, anymore. I usually don't carry a cell phone either. So most of the time, I have no idea what time it is, what I have planned for the day, when I should be where, and am totally unreachable. Free at last!!

Until you go outside

<< Until you go outside >>



That's true, I used it outside the other day and it was hard to see, but I really don't use it outside much. I usually use it either in class, in the library, in the food court at school, or at work. Inside though, it looks awesome, perfectly clear and sharp, 65,000 colors. I played the game Turjah from Jimmy software on it the other day, it looked awesome.

Palm VII

 

[NFS4]

Yeah, the Casios have the absolute BEST screen for indoor use. I chose the iPaq b/c of it's dual personality screen, looks, speed, and the ability to use CF and PC Cards.

I looked at the Casio that you have, but ended up going for the iPaq. Can't wait to get it in my hands

I got a Casiopwia E 100 last week. I JUST GOT IT STOLEN YESTERDAY! Boy am I bitter, I had just started to rely on it so much and POOF it is gone. Ohh well easy come easy go! anyone got a spare they wanna sell?

There are just way too many dishonest people in this world.

Oh yeah PDA's are bad @ss! cant live without'em.

 

[SuperTool]

iPaqs are nice. Unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on them this summer even while working for Compaq.

 

[trmiv]

NFS4: When are you expecting your Ipaq? Those things are sold out everywhere. Before I bought my Casio I went to a lot of stores around here looking for Ipaqs, and most places almost laughed in my face when I asked if they had any Ipaqs in stock. Then I decided on the Casio E-125, went to Fry's and they had one there so I picked it up. I found out later after I bought it that the E-125's are a little hard to find too because they just came out. Guess I just got lucky.
