Hatch or Go Bad: The Move is Over: “I have a new toy. I typed the first draft of this on my new Tungsten T5. It came with the free PalmOne Universal Wireless keyboard. I have been reading reviews and lurking in techie and (I don’t think anyone would be offended if I say this) geeky message boards. Looking for info on new PDA’s. Many, many posters trashed the T5 because it lacked WiFi and because it doesn’t use the new Cobalt OS. But, those things don’t matter to me. I am not a WiFi kind of gal. I don’t need to be connected ALL the time. The internet is distracting enough on my PC. Emails can wait. If anyone needs to reach me URGENTLY, they know how. As far as Cobalt is concerned, I haven’t seen it yet. I don’t know if my third party software faves will be developed for it quickly. I like the Palm OS and version 5.whatever is good enough for me. Besides PalmSource announced they would develop the new Cobalt and the current OS (I think this is Garnet) simultaneously.
I don’t want a new learning curve, I want to write. The T5 is the perfect PDA for me because of the storage capacity. I can carry three to four books (or more) for eReader. I can have at least 2 Audible.com books. I can write in Word thanks to the DocsToGo 7.0 software that came loaded. The thing also works as a USB drive or memory key - so the file transfer back and forth from PDA to PC is easy schmeasy. Way cool! This is the one for me and I am in love with it. I am obsessed with it. Also did I mention that I can listen to music on this puppy while I am writing? No? Okay, I can listen to music on this puppy while I am typing. I am in Memorial Union surrounded by students some with laptops. This little teeny weenie thingy is my laptop replacement. I don’t need a laptop. I don’t want one. This thing is sleeker and sexier than any laptop I have ever seen. Yes, my geek factor is showing. I think technology is sexy.”
