Comments on: PdaNet – Palm OS Utility http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/06/09/pdanet-for-palm-os/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:10:23 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Mark Adkins http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/06/09/pdanet-for-palm-os/comment-page-1/#comment-38727 Mark Adkins Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:46:08 +0000 http://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=15799#comment-38727 @Mark- If I based the review on my first encounter with PDANet, it would have sounded a lot like your experience. If you are running a lot of things that put demands on your COM ports, things get messy. When I tried everything again on a clean install, and went more carefully with everything using the COM ports, things went well, and kept going nicely. I blame Palm more than I do June Fabrics for this- they have struggled with the entire on-line experience since the beginning. @Mark-

When storm-chasing, I can pull down the latest NEXRAD data on GRLevel3 and get the latest SPC updates as they come. When traveling, I can get the info on geocaches in my area and download them to my GPS. Good stuff! Been using PDANet since 2005 and it has been a lifesaver.

Now I use a BlackBerry ... Thrilled to hear there's a PDAnet version for this OS! I used PDAnet from the late 1990s (TRGPro) until the mid-2000s (Treo 650, 700) … it always worked great.
