    Advantages Advantages Very cheap these days

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be hard to find these days

    I love my gadgets and seldom travel without at least one piece of electronic wizardry about my person. I've fancied a PDA - Personal Digital Assistant - for some time, but they've always been just too expensive for what would really (or so I thought) be more of a toy than an essential bit of kit. Recently, though, I hit on the idea of buying a second-hand model. And I remembered that several years ago I had hankered after the Handspring Visor Deluxe. Not because it undercut and outperformed Palm's equivalent model, nor because plugin expansion packs made it infinitely adaptable, though both of ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap and with decent memory

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expansions are expensive and screen is black and white

    I’ve been an owner of some form of hand-held computer for almost a year and a half now. I started with a Palm IIIe, which was a simple, 2Mb model with a monochrome screen. I used it almost constantly and quickly came to rely on it as a calendar, calculator, notepad, clock, entertainment tool, etc. When the Palm developed a fault, I got it repaired under warranty. When it was stood on and smashed, I was devastated. As soon as I could afford to, I replaced it. I wrestled with myself for a while as to what the replacement would be, then, foolishly, turned my back on the Palm platform and went for ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fits in pocket, provides neccesary applications, backlight and uses graffiti and onscreen keyboard

    Disadvantages Disadvantages See review

    I bought this PDA off ebay for the price of £20. Some people may think this is a high price for just an organiser, but considering what I managed to do with it, it was well worth the price! The PDA I bought off Ebay was silver. It arrived from ebay well packaged and with a USB Hotsync cradle. The user manual was emailed to me. The main disadvantage about it is that unlike some other PDAs it required 2 AAA batteries, which meant it wouldn't charge in the cradle. However, a couple of AAA batteries is supposed to last a few months on normal usage. It runs Palm OS 3.5, which is good but I wouldn't ... more

    Advantages Advantages Small, flexible, relatively cheap (compared to a Psion!)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Requires USB

    A fantastic product, and great value. There is no better way to describe the Handspring Visor Deluxe. It comes with a few apps, such as a diary and a To Do list (a godsend for any as disorganised as me!). The main advantage is the versatility, though. Not only are there a range of modules to buy, which clip into the back of the unit (in a way not unlike games for old-style Gameboys and Sega Game Gears, but that's another matter!) but there is a wealth of software availabel for download. A number of big sites now have seperate sections for PDA Downloads, and the range is growing constantly ... more
