I’ve been using a palm 3x for a few years now. But it’s about ready to crap out. It has been very useful and worth every penny just as a datebook, phone book, note taker, calculator, etc.
Since I will be faced with upgrading soon, what opinions do the rest of you have on these devices.
I’m seeing alot of advantages to the windows ce type units. The cost differential is minimal. It sure would be nice to have spreadsheets and word docs available in my pocket, not to mention the ability to give onsite quotes for jobs that I have excel templates for. I’m thinking of a Compaq Ipaq, but am wondering about durabilty, and useabiltiy with the climate variations we face. The palm has performed admirably given the abuse I give it, but something tells me that the more complex it is the more unreliable.
Anyone else using these things?
