My Palm3xe arrived almost a week ago. Separate dock I purchased arrived yesterday. USB C to Serial adapter arrived today. I had to edit some .c files and manually specify the build host, but I'm now able to back up the notes from my Palm to my PinePhonePro. :-) Now I need to find some software for note taking or some software to translate the pdb from memos... Or both. I'm pretty content right now.

Anyone have experience with dodgy touch screens on PDAs? One of the two PocketPCs I got reads touch somewhat, but seems to have a lot of dead areas. The areas that do respond at least respond in the right spots. Is this a "I can take it apart and maybe fix it" kinda situation or a "I have to replace the whole thing" kinda situation?

I have posted a gemlog entry with some thoughts on the Clie PEG-SL10 PDA that just arrived yesterday. Also in the post is my script that I have been using to sync gemini posts to the PDA for offline browsing.

I put a low-ball ~$10 bid on two unrelated iPAQs and then nobody else bid and I won them both. The first one came in today, I have to say that despite being a newer device, the Clie is definitely better, but it's not a bad little gadget either. The touch screen can be a little unreliable. The dock is nice. I'll report back when I play with it more and the other one comes in.

This might be slightly off topic, but if you could have a device to carry with you that had the exact features you want, and none of what you didn't want, what would it be?

I'm awaiting the arrival of the last PDA on my wishlist, a Sony Clie PEG-SL10. This is the last one I'm ordering I swear (maybe). The key features that landed this on my list are: "high res" monochrome display, mini USB port for hotsyncing, runs on AAA batteries.

So far the coolest Palm app I've found is a Golgo 13 themed app for practicing Graffiti. It's like a shooting range where letters pop up you have to write, but the licensing is what makes it wild.

Alright, I need some help getting my Clie up and running. I'm on Zorin (Ubuntu-based). I've got JPilot set up. The main thing I am trying to figure out how to do right now is how to sync my calendar up with the Clie. I use Proton and it only exports .ical (which I think google is the same these days). JPilot doesn't seem to want that. What are my options?

The moment I always have playing around with old tech: "hmm, I'd rather play around with my Clie, but technically my Tungsten E2 is a more powerful PDA, so maybe I should...wait...my phone is more powerful than both, the whole point is to play with the thing I like the most.""

I loved all my old PalmOS devices. I long for the days of a simple fast set of utilities to carry around. I would love to carry a device which is a combination of a dumb flip phone and a palm pilot.

PDAs, Personal Digital Assistants. I love them and use my Palm Pilot every day and even read gemini posts on it. Anyone else into PDAs?
