Palm Vx

I am lucky enough to own both a Palm Vx, and a HP Jornada Pocket PC. If you like gimmicy gadgets, then the Pocket PC will be your thing, otherwise, stick with the Vx! With a whopping 8Mb of RAM, you aint' gonna run out of room on this baby for a long time (unless you fill it with games!) The Vx is an organiser, and this is what it does best. Once you have mastered the "strange" handwriting recognition system, you're away sorting your life out on the move before you know it. Out of the box, it comes with all of the features you'd ever need in an organiser, but also has the ability to be expanded no end. Connectivity to the PC is ...  Read the complete review

I am a palm fan. This is my fourth now and it keeps going from strength to strength. There are some obvious shortfalls when comparing it to other platforms but what it does it does very well and what it does not yet do it will do soon. The basics: Out of the box it comes with everything you need to ditch your filofax and totally organise your life. It comes with Diary, Address Book, Todo List, Notepad, Expense and Mail applications. These are all invaluable. They are very well written applications and designed to work well on this platform. In addition there is the Avant Go Application which will allow users to download up to 2mb of web page ...  Read the complete review

The second in a series of "bonsai ops": (hopefully) detailed ops in a whopping concise 250 words. Enjoy (and comment if you will). ***** Concept: A pocket electronic diary with much more -the Palm VX holds dates, appointments, contacts, accounts, email, to-do lists, games... the list is endless. Instead of a keyboard, writing is via the ultra-intuitive "graffiti" handwriting-recognition: write with a stylus, text appears on screen. Advantages: Hold all information you could possibly want in one gizmo. Before getting it, I eyed it skeptically, smelling "gimmick" all over the advertising. But ...  Read the complete review

Palm and other PDAs are great for mainly one thing. Organising. Most people get stuck at this stage, and end up using the excellent Palm Vx for addresses, telephone numbers and diary dates. For this the Palm Vx is superb, but I would question the need for a fairly expensive Vx to fulfill these roles. Vindigo and Avantgo software completely changes the Palm Vx and allows it to provide a fast database of web-pages, shops, bars and more. It properly uses the processing power of the Palm and expands its functionality hugely. Buy it, and download some software straight away! ...  Read the complete review
