PDA Reviews

Unfortunately I do not know if the HP PDA or the Targus Card is at fault. I can not get support from Targus, HP or Sprint to help get connected with this device. I can dial-up, however the connection never goes through. Its been 6 months now and I have not been able to get this resolved. Its very frustrating and disappointing.

This card works great with my Compaq Ipaq 3650 and Sprint PCS and Samsung 3500. I recommend it highly.

I bought this PDA case by looking at price of $3.99. I have seen better than this in my local 99 cent store. I cannot keep my PDA in this case because it has no protection on sliding up or down from the case. I preferred to throw it rather than destroying my PDA by keeping in this.

This case is very well made and looks far more expensive than it is. It is a nice, compact case although it holds either my Tungsten C or E. I was looking for something classy but not too bulky and this is just right. The nickel clasp adds a beautiful accent and I prefer it to the loose closures of some of the more expensive cases (like most of the ones by Coach). The ballistic nylon is sturdy with a great texture and the entire case is extremely well made. There are slots for extra business or memory cards and well as a place for an extra stylus or small pen. With so many leather, aluminum or Body Glove type cases around, this one is unique while still looking professional. No matter how much of a PDA case snob you are, this one is a great choice.

I hate it when a product uses too generic of descriptions for their device compatibility. I realize the product descriptions were probably writen well before the release of the Handspring Visor Edge, but their poor choice in specifying Visor models left me with a package of screen sheilds that are too big for my new handheld.

Oh well, live and learn - but anyone have any ideas of what shield fit my handheld?

Tech Media makes an excellent, affordably-priced product that will protect your investment without making your Palm or Visor handheld screen hard to see or use.

Application was simple enough, as the shields act like those static-cling stickers that allow for easy removal. They're glossy and perfectly clear, and do not impact the contrast or resolution of your screen in any way. The writing surface is a little stickier, but it feels more like writing on paper than the unshielded screen does, which improves my Graffiti accuracy to a certain extent.

As for the size, I use these shields on a Handspring Visor Deluxe, and they're a perfect fit. As has been reported by other reviewers, they're not quite the right size for other Handspring models such as the Edge, but the instructions do prescribe trimming the shields in such cases.

This product is a must for Palm/Handspring device power users looking for the best screen protection available.

I lost the metal stylus that came with my Palm Vx, and disliked using the plastic one, so I ordered these as a replacement, since Palm's own do not specify clearly whether they are made of metal. Well, they arrived and are made of metal, but they don't have a reset pin and the head is different and stands out of the side of the case by a millimiter or so; these differences contributed to the 3 star rating. The quality is less than the original metal stylus.

Although the quality, features and functionality of this case is very good, it is not as "universal" as I had hoped. Know that it is not compatible with iPAQs.

Ideal when travelinng and you don't what to carry anything bulky, except your camera!

I ordered this battery so I could have a backup for my iPaq while travelling. It's the exact same battery that is included with the 5455. Unfortunately, it carries a hefty price tag and also some ridiculous packaging. Typical of most accessories, this battery comes sealed in molded plastic--the kind that allows it to be displayed in stores, but completely deters theft. The package was sealed so tightly with such thick plastic that I felt like I was performing serious surgery in order to extract the battery. In the process, the metal cover (wedged so tightly into the plastic) was slightly bent and required another 15 minutes of finessing to reattach it to the battery. Aside from the price and packaging, the unit performs as expected.

...AThis is for students and teachers.I am neither one.Of course I opened it thinking I could us it.Wrong!!It is for teachers or students.Its for class scheduling.Live and learn!!!!!!!!!!

I received this product for Christmas, 2000. In general, it's an okay product with quite a few quirks.

First off, I have a PowerBook G3 Series which has no built-in serial port. The product doesn't include a USB adapter, but you can buy one from the Delorme website .... They say it will be available in "late December," but it is now December 30 and they're still saying that on their website. I ended up buying a couple different adapters off the web (one ... which doesn't say so but did include Mac drivers, and the Keyspan USB PDA Adapter), but neither one provides power to the GPS so you have to put 4 AAA batteries into the unit for it to work.

The Street Atlas software works okay. Its user interface is mostly standard -- the menus are set up like you would expect, but it has some pretty odd "features:" you have to "Command-click" to get the pop-up menu on the map, for instance (instead of "Control-clicking" as is standard in Macintosh OS 9). Its location search features are okay, but they rely heavily on knowing a zip code and some are [non-obviously] sensitive to the area of the map being viewed and even the current magnification level.

Integration between the software and the GPS is okay. I've been using it a while and still don't understand how the connection is maintained between the two. It seems that whenever you check the GPS status, it re-initializes itself. The software shows your current position and direction right on the map. The logging features are pretty poor, however -- all you can do is record your route then play it back at normal speed (yes, you can actually watch where you went in the same amount of time it took to do it the first time) or at 10 or 50 times normal speed. There appears to be no way to display your whole track, so you can't make your own maps of trails very easily.

The worst news of all is this the _only_ GPS solution I can find for the Macintosh. If you think you still need it, be sure to read through the help files and manual when you get it because of the quirks in the interface.

The Fellowes PDA Stylus Pen is just a regular pen, the stylus part is just a pointy thing on the pen barrel. Since the stylus isn't centered on the pen, and the pen is rather thick, you actually need to rotate the pen in your hand so that the pointy part is downwards whenever you want to write on your PDA, otherwise the pen barrel will touch the screen.

The plastic of the pen barrel/stylus seems to be made from very soft plastic, it leaves marks on my PDA's screen protector which can be easily wiped off.
