Premium Member Chris Keth Posted February 2, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'd like to get a cheapo PDA on ebay so I can run these two programs. Can anyone give me a rundown on models I might check out? This will be the device's only purpose so I want something as small as possible, that runs well and calculates quickly, and has a good battery life. Any recommendations? There seem to be a lot of Palm IIIXEs available very cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seem to be a lot of Palm IIIXEs available very cheaply. I have a Handspring Visor Deluxe which is pretty much identical. If you want it send me a PM or email. I'll send it to you at shipping cost (I'll toss it in an envelope). I was about to throw it away last week. Battery life is like a week on two AAAs. You would need to buy a USB cable for syncing and a stylus though. Both of which I've lost over the years. im.thatoneguy at gmail.com Edited February 3, 2008 by Gavin Greenwalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Greenwalt Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Actually if I could fit it into a 41 cent envelope I would send it for free if you want it. I think it's small enough it might not even need to be 'shipped'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Brown Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 There seem to be a lot of Palm IIIXEs available very cheaply. I would get something a bit newer with a color TFT as I've had difficulty using these apps on my 3XE on a dark set as the green backlight on that model leaves a lot to be desired. Turning on the green backlight also sucks massive amounts of battery power when in use. I recently purchased a Treo 600 on ebay?which is also a phone which is a plus?for about a hundred bucks and it's much easier on the eyes... and could even be used as an eyelight in a pinch. I'm sure you could find a Palm Zire 31 or similar model for much of nothing... or take up Gavin on his offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) I already found the answer to my the question I posted here about an iTouch app. I've edited my question out of this post :) Edited February 3, 2008 by Jonathan Bowerbank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Hoffman Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 No matter what you end up with, I'd recommend getting a hard case for it. It took the demise of my first PDA to learn that lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
