OT - Palm Pilots
I would like to buy a palm computer (if that is the correct phrase).
I have had the Palm M515 16MB reccomended to me but I would be interested if any of the forum lurkers could make reccomendations and/or comments of their own.

I had one, but excessive dropping on floors caused it to stop working.
Note: Bubblewrap is slippery!

Re: OT - Palm Pilots
If you find one that I can play SE4 on, let me know! I'll take it to work with me, and go find some quiet corner to hide in a couple times a night...

What to buy greatly depends on your intended use.

Re: OT - Palm Pilots
Get a Handspring Visor. It uses the Palm OS so it can use all that software and stuff plus it has an expansion slot for mp3 players and whatever. It's cheaper than a palm and I think you can get an older Deluxe for under a hundred bucks. I've got one and I use it all the time.

Re: OT - Palm Pilots
Apart from serving as a source of peurile "Palm Pilot" jokes, what good are these things? What can you actually do with them? Can you do any worthwhile computing without a keyboard or is it just a glorified AddressBook & diary?

Dogscoff, they appear to be the modern equivalent of filofaxes (I have one but it is now about 18 inches thick).. I would simply use it as just a glorified Calendar and address book

You can get portable key Boards for them that fold up to the size of a palm pilot. Go here to get a palm pilot. It's a pretty good site.
If you're wondering no I didn't design it. But I will be re-designing it in the future.

Re: OT - Palm Pilots
I quite fancy one of those new tablet/ notebook hybrids that are just coming out now. Kind of like having a full spec PC in a sort of clipboard shell.
It uses a stylus and handwriting recognition instead of a keyboard but I think some of them have keyBoards too, and you could certainly plug one in.

Yes indeed. My dad has one of those. It's pretty nice. It's a little bit thicker then a clip-board but it's still rather thin. Like you said it used a stylus and my dad has a keyboard for it. It's pretty fast too.
