Post by: lyner on 31/12/2007 18:11:22

I am on holiday with my really crap PALM.
Yet I can still get a very readable version of the forum. Plus, I can even have a short rant.
Well done to the web designer. Better than most sites!
I would love an ipod touch for this. Has anyone else been impressed by the touch

It's the one that came with the machine.
The screen is now full of holes which can't detect the stylus. The registration is rubbish - you have to cheat with the three little 'targets' in the setup if you want to use the bottom tool bar.
The filing system doesn't exist in the internal memory. It is very, very average altogether. Yes - if you are keen enough, you can make the machine do things but I get the feeling that they stopped trying several years ago. Very disappointing. I should have got myself a Pocket PC of some sort.
Of course, the itouch is very nice and I'd love one but it doesn't do the same sort of things as PDAs and isn't what you need to run your life with.

These are a few screen shots of the forum taken from my windows pocket pc/pda/phone

The way the page loads an looks is of course dependant on the settings in IE and the orientation of the phone/pda/ppc

7 touchscreen keyboards, including a full screen - finger friendly one

Plus the usual games and applications.

As for your palm, there is plenty of software out there, if you are suffering from dead pixels, it may be an idea to instal an iphone-esque interface. This will give you bigger buttons and do away with the stylus to some extent.
