PDA Geeks

[Gismo]

Any other PDA geeks out there, what do you use :question: I just got the iPaq HX2750 to replace my aging 3630, an amazing bit of kit with finger print safe technology :cool:

[sleepyrascal]

I love PDAs! ANd who said they are geeky... JACK BAUER has one. But if you don't now who Jac Bauer is, then maybe you are a geek! :D

I don't get the PDA! The functionality is so limited why not by a mini laptop or mini tablet PC:question:

I had a Toshiba Pocket PC with my last job, if the battery went flat it forgot everything.... Crap :(

mmmm does everything i need it to do and i cant get a mini laptop in my pocket nor pick one up as cheap as a PDA ( i wouldn't have thought). If you have a contract mobile you can do away with a phone handset and get a subsidised PDA for about £100 (o2). Plus a mini laptop is a little more difficult to mount in your car and phone/text with (without looking like a gimp) etc etc. Arn't mini tablets also called PDAs? Also, In my experience, PDAs have similar memory exclusive battery back-up to that of a regular laptop/PC/MAC etc. Certainly recent models do.

Part of the PDA appeal (for me) is the gadget-ness aspect of it :D

PDA's are ok, they have a function, what I find just down right ****erish is the folk who walk around supermarkets with their bluetooth headsets behind their ears, leave it in the GOD DAMN CAR !!!!!:mad: No one is gonna phone you but if someone does just answer it like normal people do:approve:

and relax monki, everything will be OK:I

I've got a Palm Tungsten E - got it almost new for £30 so was well chuffed! An no that wasn't off the back of a lorry!

As sleepy says - a pocket PC/tablet thingy doesn't fit in your shirt pocket. Mines has a memory back up and always sync it to my PC.

But perhaps the best thing is sitting in a boring meeting playing tiger woods golf when the other attendees think your making notes!! :D:p:clown:

[Willie M]

I've been using Palm PDA's for years. Currently using a Tungsten T5. Find them absolutely great for work. Easy to use, easy to carry about with you when you're travelling :approve:

[euan]

OK Wul, how on earth did you get a Tungsten for 30 quid? I had an old IBM WorkPad (basically a Palm Vx) but never replaced it and started looking at them again. I quite want that you can do the Sat Nav stuff on.

Oh, and Tiger Woods Golf is just the best :)

[Wul]

Heh Heh :p - a guy at work got it for a present and it sat in his drawer unused for 6 months - the screen on my old M105 died so offered him £30 and he bit! :D

[Wul]

Oh and other fav games are Spy hunter, tetris and zap 2000!! :cool:

I've got one of these things I think not sure though what a PDA is exactly but I've got a hand held Hewlett Packard thing that I bought and don't use if anyone wants it.

Pah, 28 seconds in it :cool:

[Scottie]

won't be back in Inverness until Sunday I will look it out then and tell you the model number and stuff. It has a pencil thing that you use to touch the screen if that helps.

[MartinSullivan]

No probs Fiona, definitely interested - have sent you an email about this and a couple of other things ;)

[sleepyrascal]

Martin, If you do want it, I'll be at Scottie's on Monday and back in Aberdeen on Thursday until Sunday. I could pick it up for you. I'll also be back up her way the following Monday. :)
