Steve,
(If I understand correctly, a
Bluetooth enabled PDA can connect through a suitably enabled mobile. Are
there any problems doing it this way?) NO PROBLEMS BUT AGAIN YOU WILL
HAVE TO CARRY AND TAKE CARE OF TWO ITEMS.
(Why would you personally prefer the HPipak 5550 over, say, a Palm
Tungsten
T3? Its all a bit of a mystery to me.) PEOPLE WHO HAVE ONCE USED APPLE
COMPUTERS WOULD NEVER LIKE IBM OR ITS COMPATIBALS AND THEY HAVE REASONS
TO DO THAT. THEY SAME IS TRUE FOR PALM AND OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM
DEVICES. PALM ARE NO DOUBT THE LEADERS. THE AREA I WORK IN IS "MIDDLE
EAST" AND HERE THE SUPPORTING SOFTAWARE AVAILBLE IS ONLY COMPATIBAL WITH
MS WINDOWS.
Regards
AJ

Thanks AJ
the inclusion of mobile would not be an advantage to me as I like a
small
phone, and battery life could be an issue. If I understand correctly, a
Bluetooth enabled PDA can connect through a suitably enabled mobile. Are
there any problems doing it this way?

Dear Steve,
ALL PDAs are more or less same in features. It depends what operating
system you basically are interested in. The Sony and Palm are using the
same called
"symbian" (never mind the spellings) and other like HP, Compaq, are
using MS windows 2003 or CE.
If you live in USA, the palm is the most popular one. But they don't
have mobile with PDA. These days Mobile phone - PDA combination is more
popular and handy than just PDA. That is why the sale of Palm has
effected because they still don't have such combination available.
Buy from any big names in the market and you will have no problem in
what you are looking for.
I have Qtek, which is MS windows based PC with mobile phone.
If you are more interested in Aesthetics then go for any SonyErricson
model.
Other wise HP ipak 5550 will be my choice for PDA alone.
Imate is another PDA + Phone combination I would recommend to every body
who are buying now.
Regards
AJ

Gents
the time has come to replace my low tech notebook and pencil with ond
of those handheld PDA thingies.
I'm not too sure what make/model to get as I dont know what features
are available, what ones work properly etc.
The only things I do know is it will need to:
Work after it has been dropped
Connect easily to my desktop to transfer emails/files etc
Be compatibal with MS Outlook (sorry about swearing)
Have a spreadsheet, WP and an application that I can sketch on the
screen with.
Theres is heaps of stuff on the net, but I am suffering from
information overload and need some concise recommendations.
Any advice on what I need and what I dont need would be appreciated.
Cheers
Steve
