How do you use your Palm? My top programs are: * Handbase (where I store tons of my personal info) * eReader (by Palm) for eBooks, obviously * the internal Addresss/Calendar/ToDo, sycronized with Yahoo * AvantGo for news reading * Plucker for reading...

I use DateBk6 for my calendar/toDo, mobileTimer, and checkbook. Slap is another interesting piece of software. I also use eBible.

Can Sony delete books off their e-readers? I don't think they can or do. So that's one major advantage it has over Kindle, sadly. I really wanted a Kindle, but until this mess is sorted out with 1984, I'm going to stick with less controlled systems. I guess I'll have to live without whispernet, which I think sounds like a killer feature if it isn't used against me.

Mine sits in a drawer. The internet browser crashes making it somewhat useless. I should have returned it when I had the chance. It does YouTube very well though, so I kept it. I have a Barnes & noble " novel" I use instead. I'll try the Cruz again when the novel dies. So far though I still use the novel everyday for E-mail and reading news and weather. In fact I used it to type this response.

Yup. I use mine every day. Get yourself one of these beauties and you increase the usefulness of your T/X by about 1000%. I love mine. The stock driver that comes with the keyboard isn't bad, but not great. You might cruise HP's legacy Palm support site to see if you can find the update drivers. I had a copy of them but lost them darn it all!!!So anyway, periodically you may need to remove/replace batteries in the keyboard and even shut off/turn on the keyboard utility on your PDA with the stock driver. Mostly it works great, with this slight foible. Well worth it. I love my Palm after all these years. I've yet to find a more useful tool.. Hope this helps. Yup. I use mine every day.

Hi! I have one of these, and while I love it (huge screen, great battery life, totally customizable file organization, best markup/annotation capabilities of any E-Ink reader), it can't read Amazon format ebooks (.azw format) and can't be used to access the Amazon ebook store app that comes on Kindles. It does (technically) have wifi capabilities that could be used to get to the amazon mobile site, but the wifi is unreliable at best and sometimes causes the device to crash.

What is MS8? Do you mean Microsoft 8? I know it syncs fine with Microsoft Word and Excel. I think it would do fine no matter what the systems and programs. These things seem to be able to download or use whatever it takes to make them work. I dread the day when there will be no more Palms. It is still the coolest thing invented that one can enjoy without the cyberspace clutter. Good Luck!

Go to PalmPowerups and download and install their PowerSDHC.It now sells for $ 20.95 and will breathe new life into that trusty old Palm TX.I've been running a 16GB SD card in my Palm TX, for a year or two now, and it works just fine.

Do you have Acrobat Reader or Professional? I'm not sure if Reader has highlighting ability, and I can't check since I have professional, but the highlighting tools should be under Comments &gt; Comment

Take a card reader and drop DTG files directly with file drag and drop. Supposedly you might also be able to sync address book through outlook as well. Don't bother with the hotsync prog since it's not supported (yet?) in V. Can't help with the Palm but the card trick works with DTG. Keep files in MSW 1 version below. Don't put any HTML formatting or macros if possible. That'll help avoid reinstalling from crashing when any of the above are in a W file.SD card readers as low as $7 when recycling an ink cartridge at Office Depot. Sunday fliers, go within 1st hr of opening since these are teasers with maybe less than 10 in stock. Take a card reader and drop DTG files directly with file drag and drop.

I really thought yes, and I've used it with it before. However, I see their list of apps has changed so now no, it doesn't have the palm rejection or anything fancy. But it does work with it as a decent stylus. You can see a list of the aps and which features work in which aps on their site here -&gt; http://www.adonit.net/jot-ready-apps/ I guess you'd need the script. It makes no sense why both wouldn't work. I wonder if anyone has used the touch with Penultimate before? did it stop working or am I just really impressed by how well it works as a dumb stylus? sorry, hopefully you went to the link and can figure it out. Things are always changing so if it doesn't now, it might

From what I've seen, I agree with you. I wasn't taken with the button arrangement on the sides of the Kindle, although I like the keyboard for searches. However, I want a reader for books, not blogs, not newspapers, not web browsing, not purchasing anything in airports, none of that. I just want a handy way to carry my favorite reading materials. I've got books on my PDA now and a reader would be a big step up, but I don't want a single unit that replaces everything else. I want a phone that makes calls, a PDA that stores addresses and calendars and a reader that holds books. Very non-geeky of me, I know. From what I've seen, I agree with you.

Well, I think you can use the Kobo ebook reader software, but if it won't read text files, then maybe you can download a .txt reader program from either Amazon or the Sam 4.0 site. I personally didn't like this unit because it crashed on me about 6 or 7 months after getting it and Sylvania would not respond to my inquiries about getting the 2.2 Android OS reinstalled again. Get yourself something else like an AGPtek TP718JQ instead and for less money. It has 1.5GH quad-core processor, Dual cameras, dual speakers, 8GB of memory and a 4.1.1 Android OS.

The are Office-like app's that will allow you to View your Powerpoints, just not edit them. Check either DocumentToGo - remember them from Palm.

I went through the PALM TX - VISTA problem with syncing months ago. It took tons of time with email tech support with PALM, HP, and Microsoft. It was finally HP that told me that PALM is a 32 bit system and my problem was that I had the 64 bit VISTA. They sent me the 32 bit version of VISTA (of course with no refund for the 64 bit). After that and with the PALM - Vista fix on the PALM website, everything works fine. I haven't had a need to sync any documents, so that may not work.
