Handhelds – Time for New Gadgets
Mike was talking about PDAs and of course, spending money. I recently received a Palm Zire 71 from my parents for my birthday (it’s early but I don’t see them that often) and it’s a pretty sweet machine. It’s unfortunate that Palm just announced a line of three new palms but aside from the T3, I’m not sure I’d get any of them and the T3 is more expensive.
Kat also got a handheld for her birthday. She got the HP iPaq 2210. It should be interesting to compare the two machines from both a pure tech geek and an HCI perspective. I’m a first time owner of a PDA so I have a different perspective of these. Kat is a first time owner of a Pocket PC but had used a Visor Deluxe for years before this new toy.
So far, the Palm is easier to use but the iPaq seems to have more toys you can d/l for it.
Does anyone know any must have softwares I should get for either platforms? Preferrably free because I’m now a poor student.
