Palm TX

Advantages: everything! cheap reliable, fantastic features
Disadvantages: no spare stylus or screen protectors in box

...I got my new Palm TX in August this year and I have been very impressed with its performance and flexibility. I previously owned a Palm Tungsten E which screen was 320 x 320 resolution and had no Bluetooth or Wi-fi, so these 2 features are great additions for me. For those who have never used a PDA they are all touch screen and most have handwriting recognition to save having a keyboard and in Palm handhelds this is called Graffiti and is very handy when writing as you can just write as you normally would. The Screen size of the TX is 320 x 460 so videos can be viewed in landscape and portrait modes, so effectively can be in widescreen. The video quality is very impressive and I would highly recommend in investing in a 2GB SD card for those long journeys. The new palm desktop software is similar to the previous but has a much easier...

Review of Palm TX

In you Palm

Advantages: A neat unit with lots of applications
Disadvantages: None

...The Palm Tungsten is a sleek cool looking handheld with a vast array of features that are going to suit the majority of users. It comes with most of these features pre-loaded, but there are more on the provided CD which also contains the software to enable synchronization with your PC or Mac. Also provided in the box are several power adaptors which will make in rechargeable almost worldwide. Although the unit comes with Bluetooth there is also an additional cable supplied which will link your Palm to your computer for the transfer of data. I have found through experience that the cable method is definitely significantly quicker compared with the Bluetooth, but again each to their own. One thing I have noticed is that the lifespan of the internal rechargeable lithium battery is greatly improved from previous...

Palm Top of the pile

Advantages: Light, powerful, elegant, good battery life, lots of software available.
Disadvantages: Not a stand alone product

...Once you have mastered Graffiti, which takes next 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 of other software, it is possible to download from the web anything you require. The range of freeware and the easiness of installation via HotSync is outstanding. Whilst the IIIe is for everyone, the Vx is certainly more for the business man, which explains the IR link, allowing you to beam contacts, appointments and other things to other...

Review of Palm Treo 680

The Palm

Advantages: Great colour and comparative value for money. Rechargeable battery a big plus.
Disadvantages: Slightly bulkier than average PDA's

...The Palm IIIc handheld PDA is a great help for an experienced Palmer. First off, if you must have color this is a must have for you because the color is crisp and clear. If you would like a good audio, music, sound this is probably not for you because of the high peak of the volume, very low, would be too quiet to hear in a croud of people or any place where it is noisy. If you are a first user I would suggest the Palm X, Palm IIIe they are cheap and work great! I found the unit to have excellent contrast and display. Once you are used to colour - it is difficult to go back to monochromatic displays. This is the color version of the Palm 3 and looks better and clearer for it. Memory is not upgradable and 8mb is not a huge amount. I have 3mb left and starting to worry. Bad mistake but I will cope...

Palm Treo 680

Advantages: Small and well made, Palm OS
Disadvantages: a bit fiddly

...This is a well thought-out device with a good touch sensitive screen and a surprisingly usable keyboard, even for people like me, with fat fingers. I have used Palm OS PDAs for many years so I have a lot of data and applications from previous devices that I want to maintain and I was keen to stay with the Palm OS operating system rather than switch to Windows at this stage. It was easy to move the Treo 680 from my Palm T5 without any loss of data. Now I only need to carry one device instead of a PDA and a phone. The stylus is a bit fiddly to use when compared to the chunky T5 one, but then the stylus is not needed as much given that the keyboard replaces the need for text entry with the stylus. The operating system is easy to use and syncs without any problems to my old iMac (Mac OS X version 10.2.8) In the few months I have owned...

Review of Palm Treo 680

Fun for the Palm of your hand

Advantages: Fully usable handheld computer and phone combined
Disadvantages: Battery life, small standard memory

...a powerful vibrating battery, or do I go for LG's Shine, a supremely sexy looking mobile phone built with LG's legendary (ahem) quality? There's the Nokia N93i, which looks like it's designed to either inflect extreme pain or extreme pleasure, or there's the somewhat unpronounceable Motorola KRZR K1, which is less motorbike and more fashion phone of choice for the elite. At the end of the day, however, I choose my phones on the basis of what I'm actually going to use them for every day so - even though the mighty N95's DVD-quality camera and built-in GPS software was appealing, and even though its double-slide mechanism to choose between multimedia and phone options was so breathtaking I almost creamed my Jeep jockey shorts at the sight of the sales girl slipping the keypads back and forth in her nimble fingers - I chose the Palm Treo 750v as...

Palm Plants

Advantages: Palms are very attractive.
Disadvantages: Palms are very Difficult to look after.

...There are many different types and shapes in the palm family. Some have cane like stems others have ball like base and have a wide range of leaf shapes from small leaflet fan to wide leaflets and very narrow leaflets. All of which gives the palm a total different appearance. Palms are very attractive but also very expensive to buy, because they are difficult to raise. They can be used in a number of situations from terrarium to bottle gardens or just a stand-alone specimen plant. They require cool winters, moist summers and protection from direct sunlight. The Parlour Palm produces tiny ball like flowers while the plant is still quite small. The average temperature should be 50 to 60 degrees F. They need to be kept in a partially shaded area apart from a few that revel in sunshine. Whenever you buy a plant you should get...

Review of Palm

Now Thats What I Call a Palm :)

Advantages: So many features, Installation, Use
Disadvantages: No colour

...Introduction ************* I decided to buy the Palm Vx because I wanted a small device that I could carry around with me in my pocket and do all of my day to day needs with and that is just what it did for me. Installation ************ It comes with a HotSync cradle for the Palm Vx to sit in which allows it to charge and transfer files from the computer to the Palm or the opposite way around. From the cradle to the computer is connected through a serial connection and a power cable is also connected from the cradle to the power socket making this overall setup very easy as well as common sense. Once the hardware has been set up it has to be installed by inserting the Palm Desktop software CD. When the CD is inserted it is almost as if it installs its self. Data Transfer *************** Files can be transferred very...

The Palms Retreat and Restaurant, Wilderness

Advantages: Great food, beautiful decor, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Absolutley nothing!

...My husband and I spent two nights in The Palms in Wilderness in February and we can say without hesitation that this truly is a gem in the Garden Route. Where Wilderness itself is a little unspectacular (An opinion which is possibly tainted somewhat by the grey and rainy weather) - It does sit in a perfect position to take your pick from a plethora of outing possibilities. Your only problem may be that there is so much to choose from. The Palms itself is in no way unspectacular. It is truly a little oasis? Nestled in lush gardens the rooms are secluded and private and finished with a combination of cool African chic and attention to detail which begs the question as to how a fifth star is missing from their official ratings. But this is not pretentious chic, this is natural, comfortable-in-its-own-skin chic. Somehow...
