PDA 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.

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.

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.

I would like a longer cord length as I'm often sitting on the couch with my laptop when I sync. However, the USB cradle is a solid piece of equipment. If you have USB and a Visor Prism, you may want to consider having two. I like having one for home/travel and one set up permanently at work.

I bought an extra cradle for my desk at the office. Now I can keep my Prism synched to my computers at work and home, and keep the battery at top charge too.

The Toshiba e350 is a great PDA for people using it for basic tasks. If you are interested in running large apps or putting a full music collection of oyur PDA, go for a faster, more capable PDA like an ipaq 5450.
Pros:
Lots of memory for basic users.
Compatiable with most software.
Beautiful screen (good resolution).
Small
Low priced
Cons:
Battery Life
Low memory for some users
Doesn't work well in cold areas (like CT)
Doesn't come Wi-fi enabled

If you need a basic PDA, this is perfectly fine for you (Although I recommend the Toshiba e355 over this because it comes with more software for the same price). If you have a problem with your PDA, I recommend using a 3rd party service to help fix it (Toshiba has really bad customer service).

After two Philips NINO in the early days and an HP Jornada, I recently bought the Toshiba e350, and I am quite happy with it. From the intro you can see that I am a Pocket PC user, just find this OS more appealing and easier to combine with my Windows based PC, and this was mandatory for me.
The e350 is a very nice product, and I especially like:
+ the extremely nice color LCD screen (you can clearly read even in the brightest sunlight! It's truely amazing.)
+ the small form factor (the product is only 12mm thin) and nice sleek design
+ the good processor performance (it exceeds my needs by far)
+ the easy connectivity (I use the IR port at work and the cradle at home, both work excellent and are easy to set up)
+ and of course the good price point.
On the negative side, there are only few points:
- battery life is not great compared to both the NINO and the Jornada (I have to charge the e350 about twice a week)
- a flip cover would be nicer than the pouch to protect the screen.

All in all, I think this is a very good basic PDA at a fair price, and I would definitely recommend it.

I found my E350 for $110.00. It has been an absolutely stunning performer. I am very pleased with its battery life, and the screen quality. The screen looks great indoors and outdoors. When we go on trips, my girlfriend uses it to watch movies. It works great. I would get this model over the E355. Having an image viewer is not that big of a deal, since superior image viewing programs for the Pocket PC can be downloaded from a bunch of sites. This PDA is a great deal!
