Sometimes a PDA is just a PDA...

„It seems that instead of putting every cool gadget into a PDA, manufacturers are targeting the upper end of the market. However, rather than selling a few more high end devices, a stripped down "PDA ONLY", could push everyone into the PDA market. It would be interesting to see market stats on this idea.“

„I only noticed one small problem with the GamePad. When the GamePad is connected to the Palm and the Palm device is turned off, pressing any of the buttons on the GamePad will power the PDA on. So, I would advise that the GamePad not be left connected to your Palm PDA when not in use. If for example, it was thrown in a bag, stray key presses could keep the PDA turned on and run the battery down.“http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/ palmgamepad-review.html - Cached
„Wearing the Palm around your neck might sound uncomfortable but it reallyisn't. I didn't find the weight of the PDA to pull that much at all on my neck.One thing that I did notice was that the PDA would swing back and forth or banginto my stomach as I walked with it around my neck. If you use this product andwear a shirt with buttons and or zippers, make sure that you turn the PDA screenout while wearing it so that you don't accidently scratch the screen.“http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/ wear-palmiii-palmv-review.html - Cached

„In the meeting you leave the PDA in pocket, as you are embarrassed to be seen using it and you don’t want to appear a nerd; anyway, handwriting recognition is so bad it’s impossible to take notes on and the project software is view only, you can’t update it. Halfway through the meeting, an alarm goes off anyway and you have to scrabble around in your pocket to turn it off. Why did you ever think it was funny to have Mr.“http://www.therant.info/archive/001310.html - Cached

„Gadgets are getting physically smaller, lighter, and 'feature-packed'. Cell phones are probably the best example, since cell phone manufacturers want to own the PDA market. And PDA manufacturers want to own the cell phone market.“http://WWW.knowprose.com/mtentries/000960.html - Cached

„Honestly, I do know some people who have PDAs, but they're the gadget-geeks who enjoy the device just because it's cool. Not because it does anything useful. It entertains.“http://www.maniahill.com/blog_archives/ 000058.html - Cached
„A year ago, there were virtually no "easy" RSS solutions for PDAs short of hacking together your own -- which required a much higher level of tech savvy. However, compared to the glut of Palm program offerings in other categories, and the wide variety of news aggregator programs for PCs, this is still a very small range of solutions for avid Palm users, sad to say. The good news is that we have several options now.“http://www.lawtechguru.com/archives/2004/.../ 09_update_on_rss_readers_for_palm_osbased_pdas.html - Cached

„Inside each of these new Tungsten devices is nicely enhanced Palm information management software that finally answers the call of users who have longed for better organizing features. The new agenda view of the calendar uses customizable color coding and a range of formats (including a new year view) to give you at-a-glance information about current and future appointments and tasks. The contact manager now supports multiple addresses; more fields for phone, email, and IM contact information; and a new“http://cshipley.typepad.com/chriss_product_quick_take/2003/.../ new_choices_in_.html - Cached
„I've been amused (and a bit bugged) by the doom and gloom "research reports" being released by popular "market research firms" now claiming that PDAs are dying and will soon be replaced by happy plastic über-phone-cam-communicator-thingees. I often wonder if because communicators are just the "new hot thing" which fortune-telling consulting firms figure they ought to jump on the bandwagon and predict them as the only devices that will survive into the future. Come on guys.“http://www.rohdesign.com/weblog/archives/ 000164.html - Cached

„They've recently come out with their Handit line of PDA cases that include a unique belt-clip system called Multidapt. They have cases available for quite a few different PDAs including the Compaq iPAQ, Palm m500, Handspring Visor and Casio Pocket PCs to name a few. For this review, I was sent the Palm m500 and Compaq iPAQ (without sleeve) versions.“http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/ krussel-handit-cases-review.html - Cached
„This case is made for a Palm III/x, but a regular PalmPilot and even a Palm V will fit into it also. The Palm III/x is the best fit with the Palm V coming in second. The PalmPilot is a bit too snug although the leather would probably stretch some with use.“http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/ dimensioncases-review.html - Cached

„We're not absolutely certain that we're allowed to love Sanyo's new voice recorder, but we've always had a soft spot for these gadgets as a way to record interesting bits of sound here and there (and the odd meeting, we must admit). The DiplyTalk (no, no idea what it means) has a stereo mike, records in mp3 format at up to 128kbps and plays back mp3 and WMA files at up to 192kbps (160 for WMA). It also weighs 56 grams and is sized at a vestment-untroubling 29.2 x 117.6 x 12.5 mm.“http://www.dottocomu.com/b/archives/ cat_gadgets.html#002625 - Cached

„Regular Windows is such a resource hog, that I wonder if anyone in Microsoft has figured out that this won't go over very well yet in the PDA world. The advantage that I see coming is that the PDA developers like Sharp will be spurred on by the competitive aspect. I think Sharp is long overdue on deciding to provide a software development environment that is readily available to anyone skilled in Graphical User Interfaces & programming and who has a PC.“http://www.peeltech.ca/zaurus/quest04.html - Cached
