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...

The Magic of Pilot FriXion

Advantages: A pen that you can erase
Disadvantages: None

...The Pen The Pen is brightly coloured and the same colour as the ink and has a silver tattoo design, with remove by friction written on it. On the end of the pen a silver rubber bit, which is what removes the ink by friction-generated heat. The lid matches the pen and has pilot and frixon ball written in silver. The pen comes in a variety of colours, eight in all. My Opinion I love doing puzzles and I am always on the lookout for a pen that would help me that. I saw this pen in WH Smiths one day and thought that?s a good idea but I wonder if it works. So I went to the till pen in hand and purchased it, once I got it home I opened the packet and gave it a little test. So I got a scrap of paper and did a little scribble, I then turned the pain over and as instructed I rubbed the silver end over the pen and was amazed at what I...

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...

Review of Palm Tungsten E2

Great Pilot

Advantages: Cheap clothes, wide range of fashion, wide range of sizes
Disadvantages: none

...Pilot shops are great for reasonably cheap, upto date fashion. The shops are very well planned out (very attractive). The one that's nearest to me is Freeport Outlet in Castleford, this shop is quite small, but not too small. I only started to shop here about 3 years ago, and now i get most of my clothes from here. There are a wide range of clothes from jeans to short skirts, tight tops to jumpers, casual wear to party wear. The size range is very good, ranging from 8-18 (some shops are 6-16). The fashion, i think, can be for all ages, but mainly for people aged between 12-25. For a night out on the town you can buy an outfit (top & trousers or skirt) for about £25 (max). I bought a top for £7.50 and a skirt for £12 (excellent price). The staff are very friendly and helpful. People tend to think 'cheap shop, things...

We all make mistakes! Pilot frixion pen

Advantages: Fully erasable ink, comfortable pen to use
Disadvantages: Takes some getting used to

...My son has recently "gone into pen" at school (very proud mummy!) and he was provided with the classic Berol handwriting pen - the red one with the blue tip (sound familiar?!) but he really couldn't get on with it at all and I can't understand how these have been recommended for a first pen for such a long time; they are quite uncomfortable to hold, the nib is scratchy and the ink does not flow smoothly across the paper - but I'm guessing that they are cheap. After weeks of struggling with it, I went searching for the perfect pen for him and I came across the Pilot Frixion Erasable Rollerball Pen. To be honest, when I read what this pen was supposed to do I didn't really believe it. It claims to be fully erasable using the friction point at the end of the pen; it erases the gel ink purely by heat friction, leaving no debris...

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...

Review of To Be an Airline Pilot - Andrew Cook

Head in the clouds with Pilot clothes

Advantages: Cheap and good quality. Similar styling to famous brands.
Disadvantages: None I can think of.

...Well I have just bought myself a lovely denim mini from Pilot. It was reduced which is always good. I can't complain with the quality of the skirt and the staff were ever so helpful. The size I wanted was only available on the window display, so got an extra discount! Would recommend every one take a visit. It was a quick visit to the store because the skirt caught my eye in the window display, but once inside I noticed a whole range of items in various sizes and styles. Whilst the staff were looking for my size and apologising all the time for the delay, I had a quick look around and noticed some excellent bargains. I could have spent too much money on all the bargains! The clothing is trendy and well suited for me, but I guess not to everyone's taste. But still worth a look....
