The palm, the organiser, the device that doesn't let you forget. This pretty much sums up this brilliant organiser. the calender is superb with hand writing recognition for super fast input of events, scedules and even word, powerpoint and excel spreadsheets. What they have managed to do is place all the key features of a mobile office in and taken all the useless garbage out. Howwever I do think they took too much out.
"TRULY" MOBILE (WELL ALMOST) But lets start with what is has and whats good. Firstly the appearence the home screen is easily navigateable with clear icons in a grid or list format that appear on the touch screen. these include, bluetooth irfra-red and versa mail. these enable for good tranfer of files between compatible computers and most phones. However don't expect much from the internet feature as this requires you to connect through your phone via bluetooth which can only work on some contracts and is excruciating expensive and slow as it charges your phone bill!!!!
KEEP IT SIMPLE AND ORGANISED There are however very useful features such as contacts, calendar, tasks memos and note pad (you can use this for drawing to). These applications are all so easy to use and have many computer features on them such as copy, paste and many more.
THE ENTERTAINER The more exciting applications include music, video and photo apps. Video and music are all compatible with real player files. and because of the SD slot you can store loads and loads of stuff for you entertainment.
DOWN TO BUSINESS The palm comes complete with windows compatible word, powerpoint, excel spreadsheets and acrobat reader (PDF). These are great apps as they are just as easy to use as on your computer. But may I recommend a folding keyboard for the palm as these are sold separately, but do increase speed by a huge amount. This is specially if you are old fashion and do not fancy typing on slow touch screen input. The palm also includes outlook which you can sync to your computer when you plug it in.
