Organizer Reviews

The Cleaners clean very well. The screen protectors do protect. The carrying case is redundant. But, as with Cracker-Jacks, there is a prize in the box-- three absolutely super finger-tip
stilus-substitues for clicking and dragging on the handheld's screen. Leave out the carrying case and charge $10.00 for the package and it would be a heck of a deal that would still provide CompanionLink a huge profit.

The two-step wet-dry pads do their cleaning and polishing jobs effectively.

The protector sheets, just a bit small for the Casio Cassiopeia and perhaps some other PDA's, were nevertheless easy to apply. And the air bubbles common to such sheets were fairly easy to work out.

The finger styluses are a pleasure to use; I do wish there were a way to attach the styluses to the carrying case when not in use, to prevent loss. An inventive buyer could use the enclosed Velcro sticker -- intended to hold the PDA to the case -- on the styluses instead.

My only concerns involve the pricing of these PDA accessories:

Since most PDAs are sold with carrying cases, I think that enclosing one in the starter kit is unnecessary. It further jacks up the price of the already overpriced cleaning pads and styluses.

Overall, a very good product with big built-in profit margins.

...kinda dorky looking. Why not buy the economy pack including this thing, a pocket pen protector, and roll of adhesive tape for the middle of your eyeglasses. You'll be all set!

This thing is realy nifty. A must have for any PDA user! A stroke of genius!

This case is very convenient if you only want to carry your palm, three cards and five bucks with you. The case will not fit much more than that. It is very well made and durable but the tight fit does not make getting to your cash or your stylis easy. I'm still looking for the perfect Palm case.

Finally a stylish case for the m100 with a zipper seal! But, no easy access to stylus. Fairly easy access to hotsync. Why can't someone design one of these cases with a stylus holder, zipper, leather, and a good strap/velcro to secure it? The velcro on this is a bit small, but this case is better than all the others because the fit is good and it has a zipper.

I've read two of the paper books in this module & looked forward to having compact versions to carry with me.

Pro's The books are organized into sections which open up like outlines; you can add your own bookmarks; and you can annotate (write a note) attached to any text.

Cons: Covey Technical Support knew nothing about this Module, so I couldn't get ANY information about it in advance.

There is only one font-no bold face, and you can't change the font size. Figures & graphics are important in the originals ( think of the Circle of Influence,Weekly Worksheet). All are absent here, but the text STILL refers to them, which will make some sections incomprehensible to new readers and will frustrate old ones.

This boring format seems so unnecessary: why didn't the creators adapt a format for Palm OS -like iSilo-that can accommodate graphics & mixed fonts?

As an added irritation: You can only copy one paragraph at time to the clipboard, presumably to discourage piracy. So,you can't easily transfer favorite sections to regular Palm Apps to read with more congenial fonts.

Bottom line: I can't believe the Covey name is on a product of such low quality. The original books will fundamentally change your life: buy them instead.

This is great! I use it all the time for school!

I am a second year medical student and with the purchase of my new visor I couldn't wait to get my new harrison springboard module. Alas, it was [amt] which is pretty stiff and not much in the way of reviews to really know if it would be worth my student loan money. So here are the goods for all those who just can't decide to blow the [amt] or not. The good is that it has a pretty cool search, with spell checker. It is well organized and good for looking up differentials and giving you some tidbits. Unfortunately, it is totally a companion manuel, aka it really lacks alot of info and you are going to have to look up stuff in the real book to find out anything. It is a pretty nice module but just not worth [amt] in my eyes. If it was half that I would highly recommend it. I actually think the washington manuel is a better module as it has more information on treatment.

Harrison's for handspring is great. I'm a medical student and this product helps me on the wards on a daily (hourly) basis. It's more concise than the real Harrison's (thank god), but still contains all the essentials: differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, management, treatment... It is easy to use, and you can search for an explicit topic or pursue a more general signs/symptoms route. The springboard module is great because it doesn't take-up any memory. I'm currently in my first rotation and I've already impressed my attending and resident with a few gems....

ADEMAS DE SER UTIL PARA TU VISOR, TIENES UNA PLUMA

I've been craving a pen/stylus that would fit into my Visor for a while. I almost never go anywhere without my Visor, and I usually don't need a pen because I use the Visor instead, but when I do need a pen, I realized that it would be really convenient to have one built into the stylus.

I bought another brand first, one that supposedly worked with both Palms and Visors. I should have known better. The designs of Palms and Visors are different enough that the stylus in question went INTO the stylus slot on my Visor, but it was incredibly difficult to pick it out again. I returned it to the store.

I found this Handspring-specific stylus/pen online, and decided to take a chance on it. Overall, it works nicely. It does have a few downsides, though. When you insert it into the stylus slot, if feels loose going in, which is a little unnerving. However, after weeks of use, including a trip to Taiwan and back, I had no problems with the stylus actually sliding out. Another minor drawback is that this stylus/pen is actually lighter than the regular stylus that comes with the Visor. So at first it feels a little funny in your hand. However, I've gotten over that almost completely. Finally, there is no way to replace the ink cartridge, so when it's out of ink, you have to either chuck it, or just use it as a regular stylus.

Still, I recommend this to anyone who would really enjoy the convenience of having a pen for occasional use built into their stylus. One particularly nice feature is that the cap of the pen can be placed on the top of the stylus (notice the nub on the top in the picture?) so you don't lose it while you're writing.

This snap on modem (called a Sled) fits tight and works
very well with my Jornada 548.

I have used it for over nine months and use it a least once a day.

The only drawback is the download speed (19.2) when getting
large images, but text is fairly quick.

I've been using the Omnisky modem for about a month now, and it is a nice addition to the Jornada. I have been very happy with the coverage, I've traveled to a few states with it.

Keep in mind, the modem speed is not real fast. Downloading email text messages can take some time, as can downloading web pages. But if you want the ability to check on your web site, news, stock quotes, this will be a great help. The modem weighs next to nothing, and it is very easily transportable. (MUCH more so than a laptop.)

The only hitch I've found, is that it is best to make sure that you have completely closed Omnisky, Internet Explorer, and your Inbox before turning it off. Otherwise you may have difficulty connecting the next time you turn on your Jornada. However, if you just close all your apps, then turn the unit off. It seems to connect just fine when you turn it on again.

This is a great toy for your mobile lifestyle. But with the price tag, get your company to buy it for you...

I have a 3970 Ipaq. After my plastic IPAQ case wore out in a year, I thought I'd give this aluminum one a try. The first one arrived with the front all scratched up (from poorly designed packaging, I suspect). Amazon.com was great about quickly replacing it. The second one also had a few scratches on it when received, but enough is enough. It'll get its own scratches in time.

The fit of the case is so-so, and I can't leave the 3970 in the case when I need to use the Ipaq sync cradle. The case simply is too wide to fit the cradle. I don't believe any judicious bending will make it fit either. Also, it's easy to slide the 3970 out of the case without opening the cover. One time, the unit almost fell out in my pocket.

It's a rugged case, but needs some more attention to detail.

This is an OK package for IPAQ 3800/3900 owners, since you get a bunch of stuff for ~[money]. The hot sync cable is worth about [money] by itself, of course. The metal case is pretty cool .. but you can't see through it (obviously) like you can the IPAQ's original case. I often just want to look at my Today screen, right through the opaque case.

The styluses are fine, they're perfect matches to the original equipment.

The screen protectors .. which will usually run you [money], are OK. These are my first screen protectors, so I don't know how they compare .. but I will say that they need to be taller. There's a very small but noticeable gap, as the screen protector just doesn't cover the entire screen perfectly.

Again, for [money] this package is a pretty good value.

The price of this product makes it very appealing especially since it's only a fraction of what you'd pay for if you bought the Palm branded ones. However there is a catch. The connection is very loose and I've gotten my Tungsten to sync about 1/10 of the time. I'm now even very hesitant to use it primarily as a charger because I'm wondering if the current is even constant enough to not do any damage to my palm's battery. Well, if these things don't bother you, it's still a cheap and affordable product...

This is the best all in one solution. It came with a Sync and charge cable which seemed to work fine for me(I have been using it for over a month). It also came with the Travel charger which also works fine and charges pretty quick, I do alot of Worlwide traveling and it even came with adapter plugs. Finally I keep the car charger it my car and on the way home from work I charge my Palm and it gives me a full charge in less than a hour. All in all this is the best kit out there for the price and convenience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

WHAT I LIKE: I love being able to use this case as a wallet- there is plenty of space for currency & receipts, and a pocket behind the palm that works well for credit cards. It's so nice having my palm with me when I'm out. Putting cards on the left (opposite the palm) seems to help protect the screen more. The designs are neat/original. The velcro works well keeping my palm in.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE: It's hard to get things in/out of the window pocket (the palm is in the way of getting in there easily). The zipper is VERY tight getting around my Palm IIIc- I have to position the palm just right to get the thing to zip shut. I wish the Incipio label on the outside were smaller- it detracts from the looks. I thought the fabric would be a nicer quality.

I overall like this case- my only real gripe is with the zipper.

generally, i like it. there's a slot for money, a clear pocket for cards, and another pocket. i do have a few complaints, though.

1. it's just *barely* big enough to zip up with my visor inside (this makes zipping a bit of a task). plus the zipper is a little on the stiff side, which could be good for keeping the thing in, but makes it difficult to zip up.

2. i have a springboard module (soundsgood mp3 player) and it's exceedingly difficult to fit the cover on with the player in. the mp3 player is *almost* flush with the visor, but is just a tad larger. if you have a springboard that protrudes from your visor, this case will not work for you unless you want to keep your springboard separately somewhere else while using the case.

3. related to #2, syncing is a pain b/c you have to take the visor out. i even cracked my clear visor hardcover in the process (good thing handspring is going to send me one for free).

in a nutshell: if you have a springboard module that sticks out of your visor at all, you will not be able to keep it in you visor while using this case. zipping is not easy. other than that, it's small and functional and just a bit geeky too. enjoy!
