is the treo 650 the perfect writers pda
Pdareview points out an article that asks if the treo 650 is the perfect writers pda. As an owner of the treo 650 I would say yes and no. I mean as pda’s go it is good for entering text, much better than scatching out with a stylus using graphiti but really we have a long way to go for it to be perfect.
1src has an interesting article which asks Is the Treo 650 the Perfect Writer’s PDA?‘A few years ago, I wrote an article speculating on what I thought it would take to make the perfect writer’s PDA. I got into this biz because I thought there had to be a better way to write on the go than how I wrote my first novel , longhand in a paper day planner.
As many of you know, I picked up a Treo 650 this week (this one’s from work, but I’m buying on of my own next weekend so I can do horrible things to it like customize the ROM). How does the Treo 650 measure up against my baker’s dozen requirements? Comments about the 650 are in italics , and remember the original article was written over three years ago, in July 2002.
So how does the Treo do? It meets all of my criteria, though sometimes with a little help. It’s small and light enough to be an everyday companion to a mobile writer, can handle both voice and image capture, can create and email professional-quality documents and can connect to the internet for research.’
