Hi Does anybody own a PDA here? I got a Zire 31 for christmas and it's kind of an amazing little device, I mostly got it to keep up with my growing DVD collection. I had started buying the same movies twice and figured to have a PDA in my pocket, I could check which movies I owned while buying in stores. The neat thing is that I have found a program with a desktop compagnion, so I can enter the movies directly on my PC which is much easier than using the stylus on the PDA. Then there is a file that I also back up on CDR after every update so if I lose all my info on the PDA and on the PC, I can still restore from that file. Back up, back up and then back up, isn't it what they say? Patrick

I used to own a Casio Cassiopeia E-??? i forgot what the model was but i mainly used it to play games and listen to music...but thats about it i never really found a use for a pda, i still don't i prefer those which can be a cellphone/pda i think those ones are cool but just a pda to me is quiet useless, i prefer a desktop excel.

I own a Sony Clie...forgot the model. I used it alot when I got it for Christmas last year. Now I just got kind of bored with it. It is sure usefull though if you have meetings or things to remember. So I like mine, it just gets a little boring after a while of using it.

I have a good ol' Sony CLIE NR70V/U. It was the best of it's class 3 years ago, a full TFT widescreen, and camera, Palm OS 4.1, 66 megahertz proccessor (don't laugh, i know nowadays, there like 122 to 500 - but back then, that thing was blazing fast.). I still use it to today, nonthing can beat a Sony CLIE, but unfourtuetely, Sony stopped making PDA's last summer.

Here are some REALLY good sites for downloading Palm OS programs,

Some good software that I use

I own a Palm m505, when I got it colour displays were new ;c)

Anyway, for me the most useful programs are:
- Agendus (which used to be called Act! Names),
- Zingware's AddressPro
- Yaps (to securely store passwords and any other kind of information)
- AvantGO (to read some website content offline)
- BigClock (nice for when in the cradle and it supports week numbers)
- SilverScreen
- and last but not least: HappyDays (it uses a field in the address book for people's birthdates and it helps to remind of who has a birthday coming up and their age).

The PDA is most useful if you have to keep track of a lot of appointments, and ToDo's ("I'll call you back at 1" -> put in Palm, set an alarm = don't forget it). I've found I never miss things like that anymore; I do forget them sometimes but the Palm reminds me.

i have a palm tungsten e and an o2 XDA IIi (the latest one). the XDA is amazing! 520mHz, 128mb ram, 128mb rom, 240x320 touch screen, built-in 802.11b wi-fi, and 1.3 mgapixel still and video camera. and of course, it's a phone!

I want one but for me it'll be a waste of money. It'll take an act of God to organize my life, something an electronic device can't do.

I got a Tungsten T a few months ago, actually its a prototype for Tungsten T, so I got it off eBay for 100 bucks, the thing kicks major...
Color screen, mp3 playback, it is just awesome, I'm so glad I got it. It rendered the MD player I got a while back completely useless so I gave it to my brother, funny thing is, I think that was more expensive!

Anyway, some good programs:
Agendus, the ultimate agenda.
AvantGo, yup, browse the net!
Graffiti Anywhere, use your whole screen as a grafitti area
Pocket Tunes: the best audio player for palm
Mplayer: play divx on palm!
