Review of Palm Vx

The Palm Vx is for all you people out there who, like me, find that the pace of modern life rather outstrips theability of your mind to keep everything in order and running to schedule. From its core applications to the wealth of software available on the net, virtually every need is catered for, but perhaps the most noticeable feature of the Palm Vx is its sleek and lightweight profile. Its burnished aluminium exterior exudes quality and style and ...
...which comes pre-installed in the Palm Vx (and which does not encroach on the generous 8mb of memory, being stored as they are in ROM), include the following: Address Book: As you might guess, this allows you to store contact details for all your friends, family and other contacts. There are fields for virtually all methods of contact, such as addresses, phone, fax, mobile and pager numbers, e-mail addresses etc There are also user definable fields ...

Review of Palm Vx

Price: £249. The original Palm Pilot stunned the Psion and Windows CE camps by grabbing a massive 20 percent of the market in a few short months. It did this by emulating the most common and familiar human interface devices of all time - pen and notepad - using a touch-sensitive screen, a pen stylus and a conspicuous lack of keyboard. This simple but effective design has continued - after all, why change a winning formula - to the latest, sleekest ...
...looks almost identical to the Palm V, there are some subtle differences in the Vx version. The CPU is now a 20Mhz Motorola device, while there's a whopping 8MB of memory (this is not an exaggeration - for Palm users 8MB is a huge amount of space). New software developments mean that the operating system is more intuitive in key areas. For example, there's now an at-a-glance option for listing all appointments and to-do items for a single day. And ...

Review of Palm Vx

...was a great buy. What Palm fail to promote adequately is that there is a *huge* back catalogue of software available for easy and cheap download from the Internet. Initially, it looks like the Palm rates poorly when stacked up against the included software on the Psion, however Spreadsheets and such like are only a download away. They may be at an extra cost over and above the base unit, but the standard is superb. All of the spreadsheets exchange ...
...Palm has been around so long much of the software has become amazing value for money as the price has dropped over the years - that is the advantage of not being an early adopter as far as the base technology goes. The range is bewildering - and some of it is not only essential - but free too! Quick tip for prospective buyers. Do not even consider the 2Mb model. The fact you are reading this shows you are net savvy, and being net savvy means you ...

Review of Palm Vx

...to no time, then the Palm is an excellent tool to have at one's disposal. It has an advatage in terms of size over the Psion in that you can really put it in a shirt, jacket or trouser pocket. The software (Chapura Pocket Mirror) supplied, which allows you to connect the cradle to your computer and synchronise your Palm with Outlook is excellent, and is something I use a great deal, rather than using Palm Desktop as a syncing tool. Indeed for users ...
...and other things to other palm owners, as well as to Siemens phones with IR. If you want to add ringtones to your Siemens phone, then the software s25util (works on all IR capable Siemens mobiles) is for you, and it also allows you to change operator logos. At launch its memory of 8mb was as much as anything offered, although other manufacturers, including the PalmOS clone, the Handspring Visor, have larger storage capacities and also expansion capacities. ...

Review of Palm Vx

I've been using my Palm Vx for over a year now, and I find it absolutely indispensable! When I first started researching, I considered the DaVinci, Palm III, and Palm V (the Visor, Palm IIIx, IIIc, Vx weren't available at the time). I decided I really wanted something with the Palm platform since I wanted to "beam" files to other users. I was initially leaning toward the III based on price, but my boyfriend convinced me to spend the extra money for ...
...I highly recommend the Palm Vx for all power users. Apps really eat up a lot of memory, and if you have lots of records I do notice that the Vx can search and find data more quickly than the V. If you really do not think you will use the PDA for more than just an address book, calculator, and calendar, than honestly the Vx is probably overkill for you, and by all means get something cheaper. And if you think the smaller size will make the difference ...

...I finally upgraded to the Palm Vx (palm is now a seperate company to 3com) I fell in love all over again. Its curvy slimline figure, clear screen and brushed aluminum case had my heart jumping. When we get past the physical properties and down to the specs- 8meg rom (memory), greyscale screen, a battery life that goes on and on (lasts about 1 week till I maxed it out) and an all important infared port. To "hotsync" or communicate/transfer data with ...

I don't need a palmtop that will provide pixel perfect, colour images of a webpage as my desktop machine might.

Review of Palm Vx

The Palm Vx, with its sleek aluminium casing, is a stunningly beautiful piece of technology. Ultra-thin, small and light, this handheld never fails to draw admiring comments and envious glances from bystanders. However, it can boast more than just looks. The Vx communicates with your computer via the Palm Desktop software and a cradle, which doubles as a recharging unit. No need to carry around spare batteries all the time any more! Every time HotSync ...
...The best thing about the Palm is the vast range of software available for download on the Internet, most of which is free or very cheap. Dictionaries, arcade games, maps, you name it - they’re out there. Read the latest news using Avantgo software (even in the dark, using the cool blue backlight!). The 8MB on the Vx ensures that memory is never a concern. Text is input using a stylus and the simple-to-learn Graffiti writing. You wouldn’t use Graffiti ...

Review of Palm Vx

...There are two families of Palm available in Europe at the moment. The III range and the V range. All the Palms run the same software, the only differences are memory storage, screen and size/style. The III range consists of the greyscale screened IIIe/IIIx/IIIxe which are all the same size and have 2,4 and 8Mb of RAM respectively. Actually I lied, they are not 'exactly' the same, the IIIe does not have the OS stored on Flash memory like all other ...
...IIIc. This is the only Palm to come with a colour screen. Although technically part of the III range it has a slightly larger case than the others and has a rechargeable battery as opposed to the 2 AAA cells the others take. The V range only consists of two models, the V and the Vx. The two are identical except the V has 2Mb memory and the Vx has 8Mb. The V range comes in a beautifully designed brushed aluminium skin and have rechargable batteries ...

Review of Palm Vx

Before I bought by Palm Vx I was using a Psion 3a. I know, old fashioned, not very sexy and limited compatibility with my PC. However, then by boyfriend bought a Palm Vx and I was amazed by how sexy and stylish a PDA could look. I followed his lead and bought one too. The most striking thing about the Palm Vx has to be its looks. Its sleek, stylish and sexy with a matt anodised steel covering which just screams sophistication. These aesthetic dualities ...
...need to make regarding the Palm Vx, it certainly wont be to do with whether or not buy it. The Palm Vx is a powerful, sexy, sophisticated and immensely useful piece of kit, whether you use it just to keep tabs on your working life, or use it to the full and explore all the wonderful possibilities held within it. Enjoy! ...

Review of Palm Vx

I have owned my Palm now for nearly 6 months and to be honest I don't think I would be able to live without it. I was lucky in the fact that I only paid £150 in buying it from a friend. I originally decided to buy when after having a play on one in a local WH Smith's store, and was hooked. I decided on a Palm mainly because they are the market leaders and because I had heard good things about all the Palm's the main points being the ease of use and ...
...just can't compete with the Palm for ease of use or battery life. I decided on the Vx because it looks really cool, and I didn't need a colour screen, so it was more then enough for my needs. I did see my friends Compaq IPaq about 4 months after and I was blown away by it's features, not only was it running Microsoft Pocket PC (so it had all the familiar software there) but it could also store and play MP3's and even through it's external speaker ...

Review of Palm Vx

...had the use of a Palm Vx while at work for a few months. I was sceptical at first because I had asked for a Compaq handheld computer but after a couple of hours, I was totally at ease with it. The fact that the HotSync button picks up all your e-mail (with attachments id you have another program as well) updates your address book etc. and it only takes about 15-20 seconds to do it all. To add new programs to the Palm, it takes virtually no effort ...
...into the Palm folder on your harddrive and then do a HotSync and before you know it, it is there. The infrared port is extremely useful because you can exchange information and documents with customers, clients etc. very easily without having to have loads of paper everywhere. It can handle , MS Word, Excel documents and puts up scrollbars if the text goes off the screen. Also, with the IR, if there is someone that has something on their Palm that ...
