Peter's PDA

Targus is easily the #1 name out there for cases, as far as I'm concerned. Great guarantee! I've got a leather one that clips on my belt and swivels around. You just don't get any more convenient. Unstick the velcro and you are ready for a quick-draw... Twice in about 4 years the velcro has gotten less sticky and both times I've sent it in and gotten it replaced no questions asked. You can't beat that!

Spend the $15 and get a stylus with a pen attached to it. Pentopia or something like that is the one I've got and it's been invaluable -- all those times when you don't have a pen with you and you just pull out your stylus and pop the top off and you're set...

My most common pieces of software on my Palm (Oh, I forgot to mention that Handera is built on a Palm basis - older version now but still going strong): Datebook: Pimlico Software DateBk5 Contacts: Chapura KeyContacts (www.chapura.com) ToDo: Code Jedi's Shadow (www.codejedi.com) Memos & Doc reader/writer: Blue Nomad's WordSmith (www.bluenomad.com) Input: MessageEase Launcher: Launcher X Password holder: CryptInfo Bible Reader: OliveTree Spreadsheet: Tiny Sheet Hacks: X-Master Find-hack: FindHack 3.6 I've got a bunch of other stuff (ah, the beauty of Palm OS) but if you have these then you've got the core of what, for me, is a very productive PDA. Enjoy!

What, you never heard of a HandEra 330? Well neither have most other people and they are no longer in the PDA business, but they made a really nice PDA when this first came out. It has possibly the first virtual grafitti area, possibly the first expansion slots (that's right - 2 of them, one for SD and one for CompactFlash), etc. Shoot, these guys probably invented the wheel if we really looked into it. Everybody knocked it because it wasn't cute, but man did it have great functionality. Now I'm hankering after a phone like the Treo 650, but that's for sometime in the future.
