Judie’s Gear Diary – 2004-07-30
In my opinion, you can’t do much better than the Tapwave Zodiac2 when looking for a Palm OS device with every bell and whistle – other than built in WiFi. There is one area where Tapwave really dropped the ball however, and that was by not including software for Outlook synchronization. For some time I

Weekend Update I received an email from Apple confirming that my new iPod shipped today. So I should have a new toy next week. Yay! The only problem is that the electrical system on my truck has decided to go wonky, and I can’t use the iPod with the radio until it’s fixed. Boo! Rumor

Today, I ordered the iPAQ 4705 from eCost…and the total – including shipping – was $569.37. That’s pretty good, considering that eCost’s posted price was $649 (it lowers once you add the PDA to your basket), and I had heard that the final retail price might be as high as $699! :0PThe one downside is

I ordered a 40GB iPod last night. I figured it was my duty to upgrade my 1yr old 3rd gen model. ;o) Since I opted for the free engraving, it will be a few days before I receive it. I wonder if it will arrive before the fabled HP iPAQ HX4705 that I have on

The girly-girl in me wants to have my Motorola V60v encrusted in sparkly plum and green crystals. However, I am having trouble justifying the $200 (plus shipping) price tag, which is more than my phone cost. What’s a girl to do? Hmmm, I wonder if this company does their crystal magic to PDAs? I can
