PDA Help

[talktooloose]

Hey, flist.

Who know anything about using PDAs like Palm Pilot?

Here's what I want to do:

I don't care about organizing my life (LOL). I just want to be able to read and perhaps lightly edit text docs when away from my computer.

I figure I can buy a used model that will be powerful enough and still interface with my Macs. Thoughts? Suggestions? PDAs for sale?

N.B. "Thoughts" does not include briseur telling me that "interface" is not a verb.

I was totally PDA obsessed at one point, yikes. If you don't care about wifi, the Palm Tungsten would probably be good. I think Miguel has this model if you want to see it in person. The next-lowest (as far as capability goes) Palm model will only do organizing stuff (i.e. no document editing) - such a pity, as it's half the price. I'd say it's better to buy new, and the prices on the Palm line in particular are pretty darn low as places slowly clear things out before holiday madness creeps in (electronics start their price decline in Spring).

I have a Palm that I've never quite figured out and a Blackberry I use for work. Trios allow you to do text editing as well as have a phone AND get email. I realize that doesn't help much, but I can't figure out how to sync my Palm with my laptop.

J looks at me disdainfully and says, "It's Windows. What did you expect?"
