Does anyone have a PDA? excalibur - 23/04/2004 11:25:42 AM

That’s a personalised Digital Assistant . I’m thinking about getting one with my tax refund. I don’t have much experience with them, so I have a few questions:

What make / model do you have?

What OS does it use?

Is it useful?

What do you use it for?

Do you have Bluetooth and is it useful?
(PDA’s with Bluetooth are a lot more expensive than those without but I cannot see where I would use it).

Do you have WiFi and is it a reliable connection?
(The security aspects of wireless networks worry me but I can see where WiFi is very useful in a PDA, but only if the connection doesn’t keep disappearing and reappearing every two seconds)

Is there lots of software available?

Would you recommend one?

Do you know how easy it is to write programs for them?
(I can think of several useful programs I could write for one in either Java or VB but obviously there would have to be a very different environment to write them for and I am concerned that Microsoft charges thousands for the pleasure – I wouldn’t even know where to start with Palm OS)
