Hi Gary,
Your not alone in getting a new piece of kit. I just had the courier
delivering my new funky PDA from Palm called the TX. I held off on PDA's
for a good while because I was waiting for the imminent arrival of
reasonably priced PDA WITH WIFI and BLUETOOTH. This model does the trick. I
bought it from Amazon - it cost me 295 including delivery to the door:

The reason I wanted this device is two fold:
1. To get on the net on the go without humping around a laptop. Loads of
Hotspots popping up all over Cork City, Ireland at the mo. Cork City itself
is the first Municipal WIFI Zone in the country - ie the whole city centre
2. I setup wireless networks and stuff in companys, schools etc. Should be
handy to prove that the wireless system is working in a given site.
Heres more bumphhh -

Its nice and solid to the feel, crisp colour screen. Charging it at the
moment so cant use it until thats finished. This is a one off initial charge.
NOW, I wonder if there is any chance of REALSOFT 3D for Palm. Doing 3D at
the local Caf while sipping your cappuchino :)
Cheers

Hi All :
Asked recently for help on choosing a laptop , and maybe it's
a good thing I didn't get any because I ended up getting an ASUS
(A3000 Series) Z91N . Cheap ($745USD) and _ALL_ the basic stuff .
It has a Pentium Mobile CPU and these things are amazing ! I
had heard and read a bit about them , but never any solid bench-
marks until I did the RS "Fish" benchmark .
You're not going to believe this , but this cheap little
laptop with it's 1.5Ghz CPU did the Fish in 43 Seconds ! I was
stunned ! This is what a single Xeon 3.2Ghz is capable of (my
Dual 3.2Ghz Xeon does it in 25 seconds) .
Anyway , very happy camper , will certainly throw this tiny
unit on my rendering network (never planned to before) and if I
want to , I can easily upgrade to a faster Mobile CPU too .
Man , so much fun to do the benchmark while sitting on my bal-
cony , looking at the stars !
Cheers !
