I have been kindly loaded a Tungsten W by Renaissance(plug). I have only had it for a day, but on the surface it appears a better unit than the iPaq I had previously tried and the IIIc I currently have. I prefer the keyboard I think. I could never get to grips with the graffiti input. I always use the onscreen keyboard on my IIIC.
The screen is brilliant. How do you find the camera on the T? Is it any good or more of a toy? I am evaluating the W for a client, but might upgrade my IIIc to a T. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Peacocke Sent: Friday, 20 June 2003 9:25 am To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: RE: [DUG]: OFFTOPIC: Pocket Studio James Sugrue said: > In the last couple of weeks I have been playing with the new Palm > Tungsten range and think the hardware is now at a comparable level, if > not a bit better on the Palm side. I have sold my old Psion, and got given an IPAQ at work. The damn battery kept running out after a very short time and occasionally it would decide that it could just lose all the data. The last time that happened I was ready to flush it down the toilet. Still no way to program it other than VB (yuck) or C so I thought I'd take a look at Palm again. The last Palm I looked at was the old clunker - very impressive even now for an old clunker. The Tungsten T has a screen that I think is even clearer than the ipaq, much better colours. It's battery life is measured in days rather than minutes and it doesn't take long to recharge. With the "Docs To Go" package that comes with it, I can swap everything in and out of my PC whenever I need to. http://www.dataviz.com/products/documentstogo/index.html A big plus, seeing as I am studying for my MBA at the moment, is the ability to store powerpoint slides and change them around when I'm away. Then all I need to do is download that to a PC and I've got it ready. Something that cannot be done on the ipaq. Word on the Tungsten is MUCH better. keeps tables and formatting very close to your PC version so you don't lose formatting on the palm like you do on the ipaq. I looked at the Tungsten C with the built in keyboard, but it looked too clumsy, besides, in just a few days play with the old Palm (on loan from a frient to try out), I could write faster and more accurate with the stylus than I could trying to type on a tiny keyboard where my fingers cover 3 or 4 keys. I've definately chucked the ipaq in total disgust. Even my sister-in-law who was a huge supporter of ipaq has, yesterday, had her ipaq decide to double, then double again, everything in her ipaq. Hours and hours of work to get it back to normal as she had over 1000 contacts in there. She didn't dare not sync as she had added too much information since the last sync a few days ago. She had to sync, reset the ipaq, remove all the duplicated records on the PC, then sync again. This is a feature of the not-so-good battery. She had the latest, most powerful ipaq. I think my little Palm Tungsted T totally outclasses hers now. Steve --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
