Back to the Handspring Visor (from old blog)
After almost a year with an Ipaq3870, I’ve dusted off my old Visor Deluxe and reinstalled from a backup. Synched with Outlook to get back my calendar and adresses and I’m back in business. Two programs that I have missed so much during the PocketPC days:
Nothing on the PocketPC comes even close… I’ll still use my Ipag in the car, using the very nice GPS Navigation Software I have.
Wonder why I don’t use my CompaqIpaq any more? Read on:
The IPaq: It looks great, has lot’s of memory, fantastic color display, bluetooth built in - and much much more.
But:
-
I have to reset it once a day
-
it feels slower than my old HandspringVisor?
-
Every little developer thinks it’s OK to charge US$ 20 for a stupid “freeware” style program
-
I am so much faster looking up and entering day to day stuff on my Visor - it’s just not funny
-
Have I mentionend LifeBalance and HourzPro? Nothing that even comes close on the PocketPC platform
Oh - before you ask: I will keep my Ipaq. It makes a great GPS Navigation system
