Good morning everybody.

I an considering today on buying a pocket PC.

Looks cool.

Anybody own a Pocket PC do they still make sense ?

I read in a few places that manufactures are getting out of the business.

Thanks PB for the walkthrough on loading up an avatar. That's me and my kids from halloween 2003.


nice looking family Chip. The girls are twins? They must be a handful.

Sorry Chip, bad joke, poor taste. A great looking family, including you. I love to look at historical pictures of people when they were young and see what they look like as adults. This in fact makes a good "get to know you" game with people. When you have a party, ask them to bring pictures of them when they were children, not babys, but age 4-10 or so. You get some enlightening discussions.

I guess my only question would be what would you use it for? I purchased a Palm a couple of years ago and initially I was going to use it for email and schedule and note taking.

I found that the email was too restrictive due to screen size. Taking notes was problematic even once I learned to write on the screen well.
I finally only used it for my schedule but when the palm was in its case on my hip the sound was not loud enough for me to hear upcoming schedule notification. If the palm was on my desk with the sound turned up it was a distraction to others. There should have been a vibrate function to help out with notifications.

The only time it really got use was on long trips and I played some games on it to waste some time.

For me I found it to be a bad purchase. Mind you it was not a Pocket PC but I would expect that even a Pocket PC may suffer from those problems.

I am thinking of the Dell Axim X50v

1) To browse using built in 802.11B
2) GPS
3) Using it as a universal remote
4) Games
5) Storing info I want to keep with me on the road
6) email
7) viewing and managing photos

Hey Tech, unless you wanted all of the very technical stuff in your handheld, then I sugjest looking at the Nokia N-Gage. Its a cell phone, has awesome graphics for a handheld, a big variety of games, MP3 player,
Stereo FM Radio, USB port, Bright backlight, Tri-band GSM, wireless multiplayer gaming (That feature is only if your close enough to someone else who has the same game on their own N-Gage) and a lot of other features that I don't know about! But I do not know what you're looking for, so it may not be what you want. But if you are interested, then here is a link: http://www.n-gage.com/en-R1/home/home.html Link
I hope that if this gets your interest, it will help you out!

John,

My company has a phone policy or I would go with a smart phone or n-gage.

littlewotts,

PB, I laughed when I read your original post. No offense taken, I knew it was a joke.

Thanks Awww Nuts, Newfy and everyone for your comments.

                          
#1186  by Citizen Wicked One - 11/5/2004 1:53:26 PM

Oh ok tech, I was just trying to help. Oh well, at least I tried.

                    
#1187  by Diplomat Technician - 11/5/2004 2:06:06 PM

John, no problem glad you put in your two cents.

N-gage does look cool

I prefer a 12-gauge to an N-gage. In some parts a 12-gauge ensures that a couple who is n-gaged gets married. Referred to as a shotgun wedding.

Nothing but a joke, really. I'm off to my Texas Hold-em Tourney. boo-ya

Go Roy Go Roy

Your next goal should be to make the top WD-40.



                      
#1194  by Citizen Evil Druid - 11/6/2004 12:28:57 PM

Keep up the bobbing and weaving between page 2 and 3 Roy. Its always harder to Roygun a moving target.

                          
#1195  by Diplomat Technician - 11/6/2004 12:38:03 PM

Sure you want me now that I'm about to get 3rd place medal. Weyr told me how you left me at the Guardians door step to be raised by a family of Druids.

It always been about Roy with you. Oh, look at Roy, see how he gets me a beer. Isn't Roy clever. Look how fast Roy is, he's like greased lighting. I wish you could be more like Roy, son. Well you can have yor Roy's. I'm staying with my Guardians.
