Organizer Reviews

My Jornada 547 pooped out in less than a day. It took the replacement over a month to become brainless. What a piece of trash. And returning it? Forget it, HP and the store owner both wouldn't let me send it back for a refund the second time.

However, all the peripheral equipment worked well. Too bad I can't use it.

If you are on the road, you need this item. If you charge at the office everyday or at home, you don't! Works well and is a high quality product.

I work as a business consultant and I usually travel by car to a city near hometown. I takes me two and a half hour to get there, meanwhile I connect my Jornada 458 to a cassette adapter and into the stereo, plug the DC adapter into the car lighter outlet and enjoy listening to my favorites mp3 songs or audible books of my preference

Otherwise, I think I'll run out of batteries on my Jornada

Got the pack for my HP Jornada 548. It is basically a peel-and-stick film. Firstly, its size is less than Jornada's screen - about 1 to 1.5 mm on each side. Secondly, the film has some sticky residue that was left on the screen after I removed it. I like the idea of a sticker as opposed to original HP's "clip-ins," but it could be worked better. When returned to Amazon, I was warned I'd be charged return shipping costs because "item did not fit my equipment" was my fault (!??). Not a biggie, but description could be clearer to avoid similar experiences. Again, my experience applies to Jornada 520/540 series PDAs.

I've got an Axim X5 and noticed that the screen size on this thing was exactly the same. They're WAY cheaper than the Dell brand ones, and they've worked great! Get some before you scratch your screen :)

These Screen Protectors work just as advertised...Definetly a great buy at a great price!!!

It has some compatibility problems with the SanDisc MMC that came with the MiniJam. I formated the disc and then I couldn't use it again! I kept getting fatal errors, even with the patch! Also, the 64MB on the MMC is only for music downloads. You cannot move files from your PDA to the MMC with the program provided. You can only use the 2MB of flash on the MiniJam module for PDA storage, which goes down to 1MB with the preloaded software. The MMC are also expensive. Better off with a MiniDisc player with cheap minidiscs than expensive MMC that store only about 10-15 songs per 68MB MMC. Not a value!!!!

I chose this MP3 player over the Sounds Good because it offers the Peanut Press Reader. I also found it at a better price. My only recommendation for this MP3 is that they should look into making something similar to the SoundsGood energy clip so that you can use it as a stand-alone unit, and you don't need to take your Visor with you. I think it is great and I love the different 'skins' it offers! However, as far as I can tell, you can only use the provided memory for music, not the peanut press books.

I would like to start off this review by letting everyone know that I was on Amazon.com when I was lokking for an mp3 player, tons of them were [...] priced and they didn't have the options I wanted! I happened to look over to the right of my screen and saw a recently reviewed item, WOW it was an mp3 player, so I checked it out, even though the price was out of my range. I printed out the information to compare it with the other I had chosen, and read the review for the Minijam...a five star review...and the only one on the page. Well I was dissapointed with the price of the MP3 player, but not all of the wonderfull features. At the point I was reading the technical data, I had no idea you needed a Visor to use the MINIJAM, I found this out later after I bought the thing on [...], but that did not bring my hopes down, it was a great product and I even found a brand new visor on Ebay. So I get the visor and the minjam in the mail and hook them up together and put all of my Mp3's I can onto it, then plug in the headphones they come with, those headphones are not good headphones, but I had some nice [$] Sony ones that worked great. But the design of the Minijam is nice and goes perfect with the visor the picture viewer and Peanut reader are very nice as well. The ability to turn off the visor while listing to mp3's is great when in school, or riding a bike, or working. But even better I was riding my bike at about 15mph and the visor slipped out of it's case (because of my own dumb fault) I was on a gravel road and taking a sharp turn, well the player and visor hit the ground at I only had a couple scratches and the minijam was still playing to perfection. The different settings on the minijam are very nice as well along with going from song to song. But the player looks very cool and the best thing is no one knows what they are! The memory cards are nice and it only takes about 10 minutes to Hotsync the mp3's onto the minijams 32mb cards that are very compact. Additional memory is a key to mp3's and the extra 2mb that the minijam provides for the visor will kepp you out of trouble with memory problems. Handspring did a great thing teaming up with Innogear. This product is nice, I got mine for [$], and the visor afterwords for [$]. Buy one you will not be let down. The sound quality is great and the ability to put new skins on the player always will let you expand onto better things.

This module/software does allows you add your own recipes, but they cannot be synchronized to your handheld. That version is read only. So your getting a cookbook for your visor but it's not your favorite recipes. If I had known this I wouldn't have bought it.

The thing I adore most is the ability to download recipes from web sites without having to retype them. While I'm sure there are computer programs that will do the same thing, the PDA keeps my work and home files matched and is great to have at the store (for example, when there's something on sale and I need a recipe). The computer program prints out recipes or shopping lists which I use to save battery power. The PDA, of course, is helpful for adding items to the list when walking down the street, watching tv, etc. Finally, the module saves the PDA's memory for other programs. Now if only they'd make one for wine records...

This is a Great Product! I buy a lot of cookbooks and I've purchased cooking software in the past, but being able to carry this around with you on your Visor is really convenient. This product gives you thousands of recipes, but the best feature by far is the shopping list. When you choose recipes, the exact amount of ingredients required are added to your shopping list automatically. I would highly recommend this product.

This yo-180 is quite good, the screen is a 5*18 lines, the keyboard is smooth and responsive... For that price, it's a good deal. I'm happy with it...

Except one thing, Sharp announces a PC-Link. In fact this is just a backup utility with no possibilities to update or upload massives data from your PC (one by one only).

They need to improve this Pc-Link software...

Yes, the PC interface cable and (slow) backup and address entry software comes with the unit!

The To Do list nicely sorts entries by alphanumeric priority, so you can organize by categories like B for Buy or M for Movies, as well as use priority levels 1 thru 9.

Fits nicely in your pocket, with a keyboard which is quite usable for typical short entries.

The calendar's monthly display shows morning and afternoon appointments at a glance.

I'm completing software to speed up the slow backup and to allow importing and exporting entries. Email me if you would like to test and comment on the utility.

This is a great Electronic Organizer. Size just right for coat or shirt pocket. Good memory size for most users. Very Light in weight. Has good size fonts easy to read. The note function is great, pleanty of lines to put a lot of information. Only down side is software that comes with product is sub-standard can only backup data. Can not update calendar or lookup phone numbers on your PC from information downloaded from this unit to your PC. Upside this is a new product and hopefully software is in the wings.

This cover looks nice for the first week, then winds up getting dented EASILY!!!!

Buy if your VERY careful

It's a fairly basic product - the only reason you would but it is to spruce up your Pocket PC. I would just caution that the color is not really navy blue at all. It is more of a metallic dark purple.

The only thing I disliked about my HP Jornada 525 when I first bought it was that there was no place on the device to put the stylus, and there was no cover for the screen. This cover corrected all of that. Before I bought the cover, I read other reviews for it that said it didn't fit right on their Jornada 520, but I had no problems installing it. It works and looks great, and fits in my pocket easily. As the last person who reviewed this said, it is more of a dark, metallic purple, but it still looks good.

The major problem with this unit is that the top is always a little bit loose and needs to be tightened once in a while.

Bottom Line: Not really necessary to dig into your pocket to buy this one. It's about the same as the original stylus came with the palm unit.

If functionality was everything this stylus would get a higher rating. I got this stylus on the strength of the first review, but the bright(!) silver styling contrasts poorly with the matte surface of my Vx. if aesthetics are important to you, you may want to wait for a matte version. Another product, the Palm combo stylus/inkpen has its faults but it has a great matte surface and looks terrific flush against the Vx.

this stylus sticks out like a chrome thumb.

The Palm V Custom Deluxe Stylus (Chrome) from PDA Panache is a grest replacement for the metal/plastic styli that came with your Palm V.

The Chrome is a durable electroplated finish. While fitted into the Palm V, the fit is perfect and the tolerance is very small giving it a very snug fit. It does not matter whether it is fit into the right or left stylus slot.

The additional weight of this stylus makes writing easier due to better balance. The shape of the stylus is in an ergonomically pleasing hourglass shape. The barrel is thinner near the bottom where your fingers would be. The thinner area also has grooves that keep the stylus from slipping from your grip. The top of the stylus has a rounded cap. There is also a bulge near the top of the stylus. It is considerable easier to remove the stylus than the original stylus that came with my Palm V.

The best part of this stylus is the screen-safe EasyView orange writing tip which is injection molded from 100% virgin DuPont Delrin. This tip is considerably more smooth than writing with the original Palm V styli and the orange tip is extremly visible.

I really love this stylus. I picked up the original stylus the other day and I just completely forgot how it felt. It just does not feel as right in my hand anymore. If you start using this stylus, you will never want to go back.

Pros: Very attractive styling Fits in both stylus slots. Great writing tip. Lifetime free tip repair.

Cons:

None

Gun metal? Within a month of purchase, the pen snapped in half while in my pocket. I was AMAZED since they are so proud of it being gun metal. I am sending the pen back and will update this post when I hear what they say.

The Platinum Pen Executive is a beautiful instrument. It is solidly constructed, well-balanced and has a luxurious feel to it. The pen, pencil and stylus are equally well-designed and are joy to use.

I only have two nitpicks about this product. The mechanical pencil can only hold one lead at a time, so when you're out of lead, you're out of luck as well. The other gripe has to do with the teensy eraser under the cap.

However, those are minor gripes compared to the overall quality of the product. It was worth the [money] I paid for it last year, and is a bargain at the current price.

I agree with the previous review about only one pencil lead at a time and the eraser, however, I have yet to find a 'nice' mechanical pencil with a worthwhile eraser. The pen works great and I am going to order another as, unfortunately, my first one was lost.

Opened the box.
Slid the m505 into this case.
Attempted to adjust the fit.
Showed results to co-workers.
Co-workers were polite and kept the laughing to a minimum.
Returned case.

Great case - easy to use and to remove from belt. Only hassle is having to remove my m505 to hot sync and charge. The case would be be perfect if it had holes for the cradle.

The flipcase design protects my Palm IIIc quite well. Hopefully it will shield my handheld from drops like the one I just experienced with my Palm IIIxe in a Palm case. Unlike the Palm case which requires you to remove the unit from the case, leaving it vulnerable to drops, the Rhinoskin Combo Leather Flipcase allows you to swivel the case and detach it from a holster clip by pressing a latch on top of the clip. The unit appears to be quite sturdy, feels good in the hands, has space for credit cards or business cards, and provides easy access to the stylus, as advertised.
