Handheld Reviews

This product has been working fine since I purchased it a few months ago. It comes with a plastic holder which can only hold one sd card at a time (others can hold 4) I think some of the other brands may hold a bigger bang for the buck, since I think the qualities are similar. I kinda wished I had purchased more than 32MB card. It is quite annoying switching in between cards.

I am very happy with this card. It works in my Concord Camera and also works in my Palm m515.

This brand works fine with the Kodak camera-takes good pictures and downloads fine from the camera dock II

I have had the Active Armor case for about 3 weeks now and have developed somewhat of a love-hate relationship with it. The protection for my handheld is absolutely wonderful and I am very pleased with that aspect. On the flip side, I am not able to hot-sync using the desktop cradle unless I remove the handheld from the case each time--not a terrible thing but a bit time consuming. Also, the stylus holder that is provided on the outside of the case is poorly designed and you will be purchaseing additional styli if you us it.

An absolute essential if you want to keep your visor handheld safe from the accidental tumbles and bumps it is likely to experience. This protective case allows for outstanding protection but is sleek enough to carry in your pocket. Quite a remarkable concept considering you probably purchased your visor to get away from the bulk of a paper organizer.
My only qualm is that you cannot fit the visor into the hotsync cradle. A minor complaint considering the amount of protection this handy gadget provides to your investment. So, I highly recommend you purchase the USB cable instead as you will be able to connect that way. Other then that, this is a MUST HAVE if you own a Handspring Visor.

Received the cable in a very timely manner, in working order and great shape (brand new)! Good Job!

Works as advertised. Wonderfully portable for sync use on more than one computer, or to plug in anywhere you need a serial terminal.

You should try using it with the CardScan 600C scanner. I used to own the 500 model scanner, but when they created this color scanning device-I had to have it. Not only did the OCR improve from the previous version, it is now a USB only scanner, that's much sleaker and smaller than it's predecessor. I scan, and with the click of a button (after the setup of course) I can send all the information into my Outlook Contacts folder, or my Palm Pilot address book. This thing is great, where has it been all my life, now to attack the huge pile of business cards that I have sitting around my desk!

Cardscan 6.0 is by far the smartest way of getting the information contained on a business card into your computer.

You simply put the card on your twain compatible scanner click the scan button and of it goes.

After scanning a batch of cards, one has the option to assign some batch prossesing to the scanned cards and OCR process the scanned images.

This works rather well. Though on several occasions the program is not quite sure where to put the information. It sometimes puts names into titel fields, and the addresses need to be reworked on a regular basis. But all in all this is still quicker than typing.

Card Scan 6.0 includes all neccessary export funtions to join your scanned contacts with your outlook express/ Outlook and a whole lot of other email and address based comunication tools.

This is what make Card Scan so powerfull: Being able to scan lets say 100 address lables for a mail shot, then converting them to a windows address book and using the names and addesses to perform a mailmerge in Word, thus beeing able to reuse them for the next mailshot.

I have been setting Card Scan up in my offices and people are finding it an easy and helpful addition to their usual tasks. We see our customer database grow and it helps us to keep in touch with the rest of the world.

All in all a very well designed product with plenty of powerfull potential.

These covers for the Palm M100/M105 are clear and you don't really notice any difference in screen clarity. However, the instructions say to use the provided card to apply the covers. The card is bigger than my M105 screen, and no matter what, I had annoying bubbles under the cover. After 6 attempts, I tossed the provided card and used my index finger, and it worked perfectly. No bubbles, and perfect adherence. Only thing is that the cover does not fit the screen exactly. It is a couple of ML smaller, which can be a bit annoying for applications that scroll, where you need to tap the edge of the screen. These minor inconveniences make up for scratches in the future, and costly screen replacement.

I really like this screen protector. I was getting some scratched areas after only a few days of use on my M100. Now I don't have to worry. It was necessary to pay attention to detail when applying, but it wasn't anything too difficult.

For a beginner to Dominoes, this is a nice a little game. Unfortunately for those hard-core players, they will find this game a bit too basic. One is unable to play off the initial spinner and points are not accumulated during the game. Again, a good game for the basic player - boring to the advance player.

The Excaliber Double Six Dominoes handheld game - what more could you expect from dominoes? Surely a fine crafted instrument such as this may fill all your hours of interests with domino games! As a recent author on dominoes game books (the best selections of games and most up to date variations is my forte) I highly recommend a decent electronic handheld such as this one for your down time between participating compatriots rounds of playing dominoes and for your own pursuit of honing your skills further. I know what I say - the plays the thing!

I think they really maximized the use of space in this wallet. I can put about 8 business cards in the front slots slots. I keep Expense receipts into the back billfold. There are two more slim pockets on each side of the case where I stash some items not used/accessed often. The _biggest_ plus to this wallet is that the leather really absorbs impacts. I've dropped it plenty of times.

The big downside is that the buttons get pushed frequently when its closed (fixable by Hackmaster to prevent it from staying on) and the bottom row of business cards rub the Palm and get dirty (I cut a piece of overhead transparency and slid it in front of the cards to fix the problem).

So 4 stars because its great and the problems are fixable.

I probably should have known better than purchase this wallet for a Palm m500 as the insertion pin is definitely the wrong size. However it has worked out well anyhow. I attached my m500 with the stylette slot which coincidentally is just the right width (but a mm too short) and threw away the stylette. Yes, this means the palm pilot is in backwards relative to the product photo but since its on a "hinge" I just flip it over for use.

Ironically, putting it in backwards also solved the problem of the buttons getting pushed while its in my pocket since the right side is flatter than the left and nice and firm with few credit cards tucked behind.

So what about a stylette? I couldn't find a stylette to fit the left handed slot on my m500 -- the one that normally attaches to the flimsy little cover. So I simply cut off the insertion pin from my old cover (keeping a bit 'leather' cover on the pin to maintain its width). I've been using that as a stylette instead and it is kept stowed in its original slot (hey I'm left handed anyways).

Ordinarily I charge and hot-sync with the Traveler hot sync kit. In this way I don't need to remove the palm from the wallet each time I hot sync in the office, and I can charge overnight at home.

I've been using it for a year now in this configuration. I keep 8 credit cards and a dozen or so business cards and other items in the various slots, plus cash, and it's still small enough to go in my pocket. Its the only full sized wallet for the Palm that I've been able to find.

This is a clever and convenient thing to carry around, and has turned out to be useful for travelling. Although it is mostly word-oriented, it does have some phrases, such as 'How much does that cost?'

It doesn't have anywhere near the vocabulary of a dedicated single-language dictionary, so it is most useful for casual use. For example, I have a software version of the Collins German-English dictionary that has quite a large vocabulary and I use it quite often instead of carrying a thick printed dictionary.

But for casual use, reading menus, deciphering signs, and asking the hotel staff for help with leaky faucets, the Franklin device is perfect.

It translate the major ones such as english, german, russian, sweden, and one more other one that i can't remember.

the product is excellent as a data storage device, but not a backup alternative. it failed to restore all after a full reset of the hanspring. a system error appeared after installing the card into the springboard module and had to be reset. i guess i have to buy the backup card for more $$$.

This product works like a dream. I needed a memory expantion for my pda, i just popped this card in and my memory was instantly 10mb rather than my previous 2mb. I would reccomend this product to anybody who owns a handspring visor and is in need of a memory expantion. It is also priced very fairly. At just 39.99 it is way worth the money.

I play Scrabble every day, and it's a joy to finally have a version I can play solo on the train to work. This is a decent version of the board game. (The Windows CE version looks much better, however). If you know the game already you will be able to figure out how the Palm version is laid out, if not -- there is ample help and you'll pick it up quickly. The computer opponent is very challenging. The Players dictionary and rules are complete. (And always remember: 'XI' is a word).

I got this as a gift and found it was quite playable and entertaining on my Palm M130. Unlike SimCity, which is a real strain on the small screen, this game seems well-suited to the Palm's size and shape.
