| The search for a decent PDA |

( wherein shortcipher compares every PDA/phone he's owned from 1998 to 2007, and explains imminent purchase of a Treo 680 )
In conclusion: Dear Lazyweb,
Given that I refuse to buy a Windows Mobile device, I think the two main contenders are Palm and Nokia, and am fairly sure that the Treo 680 is the best of those two manufacturers. Does anyone want to vehemently disagree / disrecommend on the basis of experience of a similar device?
Do you know of any others that are useful? I know very little about BlackBerries, I don't suppose they're any good?
- Have any of you already written anything non-trivial for the Palm? If so:
- How would you rate its developer-friendliness?
- Do you have any relevant guides / HOWTOs / websites you could recommend? I have no problems building a Hello World app and running it on a device; what I'm after is something that walks through a semi-useful application, explaining how best to do things like UI, storage and, ideally, Bluetooth/networking.
Do you know anywhere where a Treo 680 could be had more safely/cheaply/promptly than eBay?
Thanks.
Edit: I now have a Treo. :-) |
