Re: [LegacyUG] Using Legacy with handhelds

[Pam]

Many thanks to everyone who has provided advice on handhelds and genealogy 
applications both on the list and privately. I got more help here than at 
any retail store I tried (the assistants are all aged "12" and you have to 
know the right questions to ask to get the right answers - sort of defeats 
the purpose of asking really!) I will probably get an HP iPAQ as I can get 
one cheaper via a friend, but am still working on which model to get. And 
will also use Pocket Genealogist as it has had such great reviews.

Thought that maybe I should think about what else they can do too - as there 
*may* be more to life than just genealogy :-)

Some further queries:
- Can I assume that the latest Pocket Genealogist is OK for Legacy version 
4.0 as I haven't upgraded to 5 yet?
- Is there much difference between a 3.5" and 4" screen from a user point of 
view?
- I am also assuming after reading the last couple of emails on this subject 
that if I get one with say "up to 135 MB user available memory" that this is 
a good thing and would be more than adequate for Pocket Genealogist and my 
data from Legacy? Is this description of the memory what I should be 
comparing between models? (I have found the way memory is described in the 
literature a bit confusing!)

Once again - thanks to all - I am about to take the plunge and finally make 
a purchase!

Cheers
Pam
in NZ without any snakes so I can probably give the one with the phone a 
miss ;-)
Mind you the GPS might help if I got lost in the bush tracking places where 
my ancestors lived<g>

Herman,
Everything but the light sabre sounds good!  :-)
Let me touch on a couple points for those not familiar with Windows Mobile
PDA's and to expand on some items/issues you point out.  (Not in any
particular order)
