I’m a small business residential contractor … sometimes a crew of three, two or often just me but I’m tired of too much book keeping time spent in front of my computer and would rather be in the field making money. I’m looking for an electronic organizer (gizmo) which can handle blue tooth connectivity ( wireless keyboard etc), MS Word and Excell, Pocket Quicken, will be instant on so no “boot up” (means I’ll be more likely to use it to log in store purchases while still in the parking lot = no more lost receits and less time data entering at home.
I’m about ready to purchase Palm’s LifeDrive …. but really want the small Sony Vaio but cant afford the $3G price tag. Anyone out there have some good ideas?
Thank You

i would check out the new palm T|X its the update to the T5. The life drive is kinda bulky. A real nice solution would be the Treo, but the keys can be small for data entry.

Thanks Mike ... I am looking at the TX too but LifeDrive's 4 gigs memory is an attractive feature..... however, the TX costs less. I want to put building material / labor costs into MS Excell spreadsheets and store into customer folders and sync every couple days into my main computer for billing. Seems like I have, for the most part, mastered the building science but the book keeping / business end is the squeeze on my productivity. How do the rest of you guys "take care of business"?Tom
