PDA Recommendations?

Published

Hey All,

I was just browsing PDAs and there are just so many choices. What PDAs do you guys have and what do you think of them?

Any insight would be great.

Thanks

Yes :specs:

My husband found several DS functions by surprise. His intention was to 'tease' my son by playing a few games when he was grounded from electronics - and he went out and purchased one for himself.

It can hold complete programs (even Office, DreamWeaver, etc), you can increase gig storage, use photo programming, full internet capability (we use wireless), calendar/organizer, calculator, and much more. My husband is an avid reader and hasn't had a paperback in his hand since purchasing the DS.

My son also enjoys playing video games with his classmates. Same game ownership and you can play with friends in different households online. :up:

Pretty cool huh? And they are more affordable at $125 - $150 NEW. ;)

Hey everyone...you can kill me...but only AFTER I graduate. :sofahider

I asked my husband about the book situation and he reminded me that our son's first DS broke, and the second is the same color as his PSP.

So there you have it. I had the two mixed up the entire time.

He did verify, however, that the PSP uses the Palm OS version. Does this help anyone? Will it help me? Boy - I feel like a complete dweeb! :smackingf

Don't worry about it! It's a simple mistake. That's funny though becaue I have a DS that I got free from comcast so I was trying to figure out how the heck it could do all those things. I was excited!

NO worries. I still call my kids DS a GameBoy. Who can keep them all straight?
