Ipaq

[Danny]

Sometimes I wonder if i should of bought an ipaq. disregard that last message aboput compaq sucks. The problem is, if I goto to Ipaq and windows ce, then some of my palm only programs and my palm keyboard will be useless. A waste of money. It's a no-win situation. What's a guy to do?<br><br>   The dragonslayer strikes for the final time.

I can type pretty quickly using the onscreen keyboard. Plus the PocketPCs can recognize (!) handwriting, and NOT that graffiti mess. <br><br>There are many Palm emulators available for the PPC that allow you to run palm programs. Go to the Emulators section of www.PocketGamer.org to find them. Although a few cost money.

Danny, I can tell you this. I used to have a Palm V with keyboard (GoType) and all. But I began to feel that it was a little limited for what I wanted. Yeah, it fitted in my pocket and I usually forgot that it ever needed to recharge (must be some kind of nuclear battery).<br>With some worries, I bought an iPAQ 3670. I was worried that I spended a load of cash (here in Brazil they are really expensive) and I wouldn't see that big of a differnce.<br>Woa! What a grateful surprise I had. Now I think I wasted money on the Palm V, because it's sooooo limited. Every thing I did with the Palm I can do 10 times better with the iPAQ (and in color with music). Ok, the short battery life is a real pain (the 3650 is a little bit better), but with all the other things it's capable I just forget about it.<br>You'll understand why a Palm is nothing more then a overgrone (sp?) digital agenda (remember those from Casio?). And if you have some Palm programs that you just can't live without or that there's no similar for the PPC (wich I doubt), just use an emulator.
