pda great......

MY acer n30 pda finally went to day :( screen cracked :(

I tell you what lost with out it. Now trying to find a supplier who wants to throw in free pda when we order something :)

Russ

what did you use it for? i bought one intending to use it for work but all its used for is tomtom lol

mines tomtom, helpdesk notifcation, calender, email archive, contacts list, remote control for school devices, msn messenger, active task list, file browser for remote shares, rdp.

basically my world, cant cope without it the days i leave it at home.

I'd use one if we had a wireless network everywhere in the school, but cut off it just seems not that useful to me.

Been god send even with out wireless across whole school as strawberry said it runs my life.

Calendar is main thing :) but really am at a lost :( But good news one of suppliers might come through for us :)

you can still synchronise, and use the connection on any machine using the usb connection. but the wireless is a big bonus ( unless you can afford a hefty gprs bill!)

We have dozens of iPaq's left over from when a company doing wireless rego thing at our place went bust.. I wasn't here at the time but obviously it was another pie in the sky project

If you're interested in having one for nowt, they're HP iPaq's 4xxx something or other. I use one for my calendar and stuff

I use my PDA all the time as a calander tool, and for when I make notes for meetings.

I have just bought an Blackberry Pearl, and I am loving it for the ability to check my e-mails anywhere.

i have just bought an acer n530 http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.a...C-DA2BE7D96C3B This is the cheapest company i have ever found and there support is second to none

The main thing that I would use it for is email and connecting to GLPI (well, a mini-front end version of it). I barely use my calendar...

I must admit love my PDA to bits, my contacts, notes, diary and TomTom all in one. Cannot use email on it due to syncing wiv 2 PCs

*hand in the air* ooh ooh ooh, me me me

my ipaq is dead *cry*

Just sent you a PM Teddy - Fingers crossed !!!

mines a acer n35 and hasnt got wirless :( i might invest in one of those wirless cards that go in the card port

I've got an HP RX3715 - the flashy media one with the camera etc.

Most of the media stuff is quite crappy - streaming music from PC doesn't work with iTunes, camera is only 1.3 Megapixel without focus and saving camera movie clips to an SD card crashes the OS! The only media thing that's any good is the Nevo Home Control - basically an infinite universal remote - which is pretty cool.

But the media stuff aside, it's great. Built-in WiFi combined with WiFiFoFum software is a godsend when wireless networks go up the wall! The screen is really bright and sharp and it connects to the internet via dial-up on my mobile - very slow (9.6kbps!) but it comes out of free minutes rather than paying O2 £4 a Mb to check mail!
