| oni424's Full Review: Palm V™ |
I don't own a palm pilot nor do I think I ever will. I am just not that important nor do I have a bad memory so I have no use for such things. But, my best friend does. He is an engineer, I am just a lowly teacher. Anyhoo, he carries it around like a 15 year old with a pager making sure that everyone sees it. "What does it do?" I asked. "Well", he responds, "It's like a digital assistant, I keep track of my calander, my phone book, my address book, it plays games (black and white solitare) and it is realy cool." So other than playing crappy games it is no better than, say, my Kenneth Cole black leather organizer. "But its digital." he remarks "and it can be linked with my desktop computer and I can download softwear." Even though when he tried it nearly fried his palm pilot and messed up his beloved flight sim joystick. Also you have to learn a new alphabet to write on the darn thing. When you try to write in plan english it messes everything up. "So whats the point?", you might ask. The point is Do you realy need a personal digital assitant, or can you live with the trusty old organizer, well look at the benefits. My organizer recognizes my hand writing. My organizer is not in any way associated with, or uses a microsoft product, Take that Bill. My organizer cost me $79 where as my buddy spent $450 on his palm pilot. Oh yea and my organizer is 100% y2k compliant, no worries about losing important phone numbers, e-mail addresses, or reminders come Jan 1, 2000.
