Handheld Reviews

The SECOND time I removed the iPAQ from the case the Velcro stuck to the case and would not stick to the iPAQ again. What do you do then? Without Velcro, the case does not serve its purpose - or the hand held bounces around inside. I have contacted Sumdex, but have not heard from them yet. Velcro is great but....

I have a URThere @migo, and this case fits it perfectly. It's still small enough to slip in my pocket, plus now there's a handy belt clip when I need it. Velcro rocks.

The size of this case is perfect, just slightly bigger than the Zaurus, and it provides good access to the keyboard and the CF/SD slots. With the belt strap, it is quite convenient to carry, and I can also fit my Targus CF Modem into the case. The Zaurus attaches within this case with velcro. So it is removable, and even with the velcro on the back of the Zaurus, it fits into its cradle just fine.

Incredible, a modem that is so small and working faster than a PC modem (even if the Baud rate does not reflect this).
However, the "Browse It" web browser is not functioning anymore so you have to find another web browser. Luckily, "Avant Go" and "Eudora" both offer free options for this.
Up to now (March 2002) this modem has official approval only in a few countries, e.g. the US, but it appears to be working very well also in Guatemala and the Netherlands.
In my experience the support service took a long time to respond but their answer was adequate.

An excellent product, but as stated in the review above, the software that was included did not work. This was easily fixed --- go to Eudora.com, and use their FREE software. The PDA works as good as a laptop for email and nearly as good for web browsing.

I am addicted to e-mail! I admit it! So when I go out of town or if I am on the go...I NEED TO CHECK MY E-MAIL! This card was easy to install and all I had to do was follow the simple step by step on screen instructions. I also downloaded software from my provider that was immediately installed during my next hot sync. I don't browse the internet on this...haven't tried either. But I have used it to gain access to email and instant messaging. I highly recommend this if you are like me..and have to stay connected.

The backup works great. Getting to the backup software is not ther easiest.

Easy enough to use. The fact that this product comes with NO user manual whatsoever is a testament to that.

Although there ARE cheaper backup solutions to your Palm, the only one I can think of at the top of my head being using a normal expansion card and specific software like BackupMan or BackupBuddyVFS ($10 to $15 compared to this product for $40 - $50), this product still has >some< practicality.

Many people consider a backup card for Palm PDAs for the case that BOTH their PC AND Palm dies on them. Here are some things to consider:
-If you have only one expansion card and you lose it with your PDA, you just lost all info on your handheld and card. In the rare case that you lose info backed to your PC, you're out of luck
-hearing as how software only backup solutions work well, it may be worth your while to pursue a better deal if u can on this.

When my Palm 515 stopped sync'ing with everything (serial, USB, and infrared), I bought this as a last chance to save my data. Plug and Play! Worked beautifully. Pops up offering either Backup or Restore. Select backup and off it goes. Backed up everything including the apps. Now to get the Palm repaired. Oh to be without my Palm for weeks. Arrrgh....

I loved this charger, until I found that, over time, it had pushed apart the plastic frame of my IIIc so that the charger contacts would no longer work, either on the travel charger or the original hotsync module. Palm.com said they could fix it--upon payment of the hefty out-of-warranty repair charge. I'm looking into Handsprings now . . . ;-)

well, i'd love to comment on it but i cannot seem to get it from the seller. DO NOT BUY FROM JULDY2000!! never reimbursed for wrong product sent (even after I sent the wrong one back). so, my sister has this and she LOVES it...just be careful who you buy from please!!!

The service was Great. Item came as was promise, and in sealed
box. Thank you for the good customer service. I'll do business
with you anytime.

Overall, it is a good quality leather case. However, it could be bigger in order to hold the Palm better. When you fasten it, it looks sort of bulky.

Sleek and stylish though. And, I got a good price!!

i bought this little case for my visor delux about a year ago but it was a little small for the delux. However i kept it around any way just in case some one else needed one. low and behold when i got my treo 90 about a month ago i dug this little deal up and it fits perfectly with the smaller treo 90. It also has space for the memory cards and credit cards and money and such. the case is extremely functional and i gurantee you'll get some excellent use out of this pda case. aside from the fact that it's suede and a little difficult to keep clean(or maybe i'm just a dusty guy) i would highly recomend this little case. a little trick for the masses. if your like me and you don't want to apply those velcro sticky things directly to your pda i suggest taking one of the clear over lay screen protectors, stick that to the back of your pda and then stick the velcro to the over lay. the over lays always come off clean and you don't have to worry about sticking those velcro tabs to a $300.00 pda.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have been looking for a case that was different and reasonably priced. The manufacture (Targus) says it is for the Palm III Series, but my Palm IIIc fit perfectly! The case is beautifully made and it looks like I paid 50.00 for it and not 19.99.

TV is ok but it took 15 days to arrive after the order and it was shipped UPS. To take that long to come from Flordia to upstate N.Y. is excessive and it wasn't UPS fault.

I replaced a much more expensive Radioshack color TV with this Black and White set when the "good" TV died. You can't go wrong for the price. Super, bright picture and external antenna jack. I like the analog tuning. The radio has super reception. This is a perfect little TV for a kitchen counter when you just want something to keep you company while you do the dishes.

It is a very nice TV. The tuning and sound are great! Its easy to set up and it can be powered by a via DC adapter , batteries or a car ciggarette lighter adapter! The built in carrying handle is really nice to. Although I did have trouble tuning in on a few channles in the car and at my house. But It is still a VERY COOL TV! So I strongly suggest you by one of these TV's.

The bag seems to be designed nicely in terms of compartments and layout, but it is sloppily sewn and is by no means padded. This may not be an issue for many folks.

I broke out the needle and thread (and fabric glue for the hard to resew cell phone belt loop/bag strap fabric) and I hope all remains well.

I'm 6'2" and weigh in at 280 lbs., and the strap is barely big enough for me to use. This bag is a perfect fit for the size notebook I like to take notes in - as a writer, it seems like it will work well for me as part of a "bag within a bag" setup where the RakGear Bakku Messenger Bag is nestled inside a larger bag that carries digital camera/DV cam, PDA accessories, mics, MD recorder, file folders, executive legal pad et cetera - I'll make the RakGear bag hold the essentials for those times when I have to go in "light". I dunno - I'm in a bag theory quandary.

Works well for Handspring Visor accessories too. Maybe a couple O'Reilly Pocket Reference books or City Lights pocket poetry books. When I add my MD, CD and/or MP3 player, and I feel like I am pushing the limits of safe usability - mostly because of the lack of padding.

On-line, lots of people seem to like this bag - maybe I am on the search for the holy (small gadget) technology bag of all time, but I'm not sure if I'll buy more product from Targus. It'll come down to how vulnerable I feel that my Palm OS PDA and my MD player is in this non-padded bag. Another VERY important factor will be how well the stitching stays stitched - I'm not too confident on this front, considering the restitching I've had to do already.

The bag looks good on-line, gets great reviews, I just felt let down once I handled the product... Maybe I'll be surprised with further usage.

The bottom-line is that this bag is now in clearance. I got mine as gift. At ... or less, this bag is a must have, even if just to satisfy a bag-lust. Worked for me. Maybe I'll be able to comment on durability and lack of padding after extended use. Probably no need to bother. Hope this review is helpful.

This is a great quality bag if you can get it for under ten dollars. Nice, light-weight, utility bag.

I bought this bag and use it for my commute back and forth to work. I can't believe how much this bag holds and I like the storage pockets and zippered areas. It allows me to bring the necessities that I truly need to and from work.

I'm in the military, and they won't let me sync my PocketPC to a computer since it wasn't issued to me. My only option to download books and software is to actually login with my user account. Wireless access would be bad for opsec, so being tethered to a cat5 cable is the only real way to get access.

The toshiba has it's built in WiFi, but that is only good when an access point is available. A few changes to the 'connections' settings and the Ethernet CompactFlash card is up and running. The provided driver adds extra functionality, and installation was easy. The documentation is a little 'thin' but told me what I needed to know to get the card working on the work network. Wireless is the way to go, but when there are no access points around, this card fills the need.

I spend about 100 nights a year in Marriott hotels. They all have DSL. This card lets me download ebooks and stuff in my hotel room, as well as via my cable modem at home.
