It's been 6 months since I told you about my shiny new Palm Tungsten E. Time for an update. This little The calendar feature has become much more useful than I ever could have imagined to help plan my day. If nothing else, it helps me remember what's on the agenda, which I find makes me more efficient about where I go and when.
I've populated the memo function with lists galore. Grocery list. Wish list. Restaurants. Hey, it's hard to choose a place to eat if you can't remember what's out there. I don't even have to remember what DVDs I have in my collection if I see something on sale at the store - I have a list for that too.
The contacts function is handy of course, since I no longer have to worry about synchronizing my home phone(s), cell phone and work phone directories.
But where the PDA really shines is in its ability to just jot down notes like flight and hotel reservation numbers, or drawing dimensions of articles I'm considering buying, even a quick note on an idea for a blog post. I'm also impressed that with all the data I have stored on the thing, it's hardly using up any memory at all.
Yeah, I loves my Palm and if you're asking yourself what you would like for Xmas this year, I'd recommend you consider asking for one of these....

Right on brotha !
I've been a PDA fan for years. I'm on my 3rd one now, Tungsten E2. Not only is it great for the calendar and notes features, but I have ton of PDF ebooks stored on my SD card, 34 to be exact. Imagine, that many books all in the palm of your hand.
Ebooks is one use I haven't tried yet, but I admit that would be cool.
I can certainly email you the ones I have, or at least a list. Most are in pdf format and you'll need the Adobe PDF palm converter software to squeeze the file down to Palm size. I think this comes with the palm install software. The others I have are in Palm "ereader" format.
Anyway let me know,
Cheers!
