To Those with PalmOS Devices: What do you use yours for and what programs do you use?

[Nighthawk69]

For those of you who are PalmOS device users, here are a couple questions for ya...

1.) What do you use your Palm device for?
2.) What programs do you use on your Palm?
3.) Which device(s) do you own?
4.) What, if any, addon accessories do you have?

For me:

1.) Organizing contacts (personal and business), calendar, some important notes, reading news, managing bank accounts
2.) Standard programs plus AvantGo, PocketMoney and a couple games (SimCity, Billiards, Solitaire, 3D Air Hockey)
3.) Palm IIIc
4.) A different stylus with an LED light in the tip

Lets hear about YOURS now...

Sorry, and I don't mean to criticize, but this is a repost.

 

[Nighthawk69]

Really? Looking!

Thanks!

1) I use the device to keep me occupied when I have to work graveyard shift.
2) Avantgo (which blows nuts, crashes the synch program all the time), DopeWars, PalmaSutra , a guitar chord program, some E-books, a Gameboy emulator, the overclocking utility, and all the standrad crap.
3) Palm Vx
4) A portable Keyboard and a dialup modem.

 

[Nighthawk69]

Cool!

BTW, I cannot seem to find an old post like this one.... maybe I'm just missing it.

 

[ErmanC]

No prob... BTW - I just use the standard stuff. Like to keep the latest movies (hollywood.com) and weather on Internet Explorer. Also keep my contacts handy etc. I also have a cradle so I can sync up at work and keep my schedule up-to-date. We use Outlook to keep up with everyone, helps a lot.

EDIT - Correct myself for not reading. The thread I remember was the exact same question but for POCKET PC and not Palm. SORRY

I seem to give them away quite a bit. PalmIIIxe let my ex GF use it (well at the time we were together). Handspring Visor, friend in Japan is using it. And Palm V, well my sister is using that right now. So what do i use them for? I give em away. That's the only use I found for them

 

[Nighthawk69]

jlee75: haha

ErmanC: no problem!

Got the m505 w/ a 64MB SD Card.
There's WAY too much to list here, but the main progs I use are:
Bible Thumper
My Bible
TealDoc
iSilo
PalmReader Pro
Several Guitar Progs
TONS of games. (Incredible Machine, BubbleShooter, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Mahjongg)
SilverScreen
and about a gajillion other programs.

I'd be completely lost without my Palm. Use it for bible study, reading (ebooks), games, notes,
contacts, calendar, etc. etc. With as much as my wife and I travel, I'd go nuts on the plane
without it.

[Nighthawk69]

Awesome! Keep 'em comin'!

I wish I could expand the memory on my IIIc, but then again, I still have yet to fill 8MB of stuff I actually use.

 

[Martin]

1. keep track of stuff, pass time on subway and during class.
2. standard apps (calendar, todo, addresses, memos), avantgo, games (breakout, tetris, helirescue, dopewars, backgammon, reversi and others), graphing calculator (easycalc, great app) and pocket dictionary.
3. IIIxe
4. no accesories. Unless you count that Athlon sticker I put on the cover

 

[Nighthawk69]

I'll have to check out EasyCalc, though my graphing calculator is doing fine for now...

Hmmm, I have some Athlon stickers around here too

 

[Freejack2]

Oh yeah don't forget Palmasutra!

 

[yellowperil]

1.) What do you use your Palm device for? Mainly to let me know what's due that day. I have a terrible tendency to forget events that aren't routine, and my Palm at least reminds me at the end of the day what I forgot to do I also use it for storing contact info, case briefs and games, and sometimes reading the news. I find I only need it a few minutes a day, the rest is just to kill time.

2.) What programs do you use on your Palm? AvantGo (including Anandtech to Go, to read NFS4's articles), Documents2Go (Word reader), Adobe PDF reader. A few games, I have a Gameboy emulator but haven't tried to use it yet.

3.) Which device(s) do you own? IBM Workpad C500 (same as M500). Got it from Hot Deals for $80, sans software and USB cradle (came with serial instead)

4.) What, if any, addon accessories do you have? just a 64MB SD card. I was considering getting the folding keyboard to type class notes, but it's pricey.

 

[Nighthawk69]

LOL - Just checked that one out at Palm gear.... nice

 

[RossMAN]

Handspring Visor Deluxe - Sitting on my desk collecting dust.
Sony Clie PEG-S320 - roommate to the above mentioned Handspring.

 

[StattlichPassat]

1.) What do you use your Palm device for?

AvantGo, the occasional game of Tetris...

2.) What programs do you use on your Palm?

AvantGo, the occasional game of Tetris... oh, and someone just sent me Sim City, but haven't tried it out yet.

3.) Which device(s) do you own?

Handspring Visor Deluxe (graphite) 8MB- will likely sell in the next 6 months-1 year to get a Visor Edge or better.

4.) What, if any, addon accessories do you have?

Used to have the Magellan GPS Companion, but it's hard to mountain bike with that. Sold it for a Garmin eTrex.

 

[Nighthawk69]

Oooh, I want a Sony I like the Sony PalmOS devices a lot....

 

[NutBucket]

1) To organize contacts, keep notes/class schedules, pass time, occasionally chat/surf the net.
2) Standard stuff, Space Trader, AIM, ICQ, Eudora Web, Dope Wars, Silver Screen, some reference proggies.
3) Sony CLIE S300
4) Null modem cable to connect to my cell phone data cable

 

[Nighthawk69]

I wonder if I can connect my Palm IIIc to my cell phone....
