Poll: what program you use to manage your schedule? (and previous results)
The first survey to find out what kind of gadget you use visitors to the Tungsten PDA has been a great success thanks to your participation. With a few thousand votes counted, the result is already representative:
- 65% you use a Palm Tungsten, which makes me think that although Palm is lately focusing almost exclusively on smartphones, you should not forget the lovers of the traditional PDA.
- However, the Treo accounted for 12% of the votes, a figure not insignificant given the specific market for these devices, very low until recently, and the price of these devices.
- In third place with 11% is the LifeDrive, enough to being a single product, and not from a family of them as with the Tungsten or Treo. Perhaps Palm has been given out too hastily, although we can not rule out a future LifeDrive 2, especially with the forthcoming appearance of Apple's iTouch.
- It is surprising to find the Zire with just 9% for lower-price computers that can theoretically reach a wider market segment.
- Other models featuring PalmOS as the Clie or the Zodiac take small percentages, because they have long been left to market, and the teams exitentes have been damaged over time. Congratulations to those who are still running these excellent devices.
- And I was very glad to see that readers also possess other computers with Windows Mobile or Nokia, etc.. That gives more value to this community that we are forming, since they need to understand the alternatives in order to establish an objective standard of equipment with Palm OS.
What sacáis conclusions from these results? At the same time, you can leave your vote in this second survey that begins today: what program you use to manage your schedule? Does PIM default PalmOS, simple but useful? ¿Agendus for its features? Contadnos all demamás why your choice.
I hope this is not the program that uséis to manage your time

Excellent ... I'm pretty classic for my things ... use the PIM that comes with the Palm. Greetings.
Use the original PIM, but I think we should be more comprehensive. For example, you can put a task that is repeated every week or twice a week, or every year (such as birthdays) .. that would also alarm to remind appointments.
DateBK tried and could do this, until I checked u8n error once and I had to reinstall everything again.
greetings
The birthday can be put in the version that came into my Contacts E2 (and subsequent guess). Then you see on the calendar every year on that day. What a week of the tasks I also believe we can do, unless I'm wrong, maybe you have an older Palm?
hello to all
I use what brings me ... but Zire31 Today they use that enables you to view and access on a single screen at the calendar, calendar, contacts, etc ...
besides show the% of remaining battery, memory, etc ... and it's free.
Further use Unimatrix for hours of work ...
greetings.
I prefer the original laTX PIM. I complicaré with other things, but not with the basic personal information and I think what comes from the factory is run excellent.
Greetings
Using the original PIM, although I have purchased the license of DateBk6 I tried. I had a problem with homework (which originated in a reset my TX), which in the end I discovered it was a corruption of databases of tasks (dbScan solved thanks to a great little application of the authors of this DateBk).
The truth is that I am somewhat reluctant to take up memory on a computer to a redundant task without having clear and very clear advantages ... will be that I am also a classic or me to make the jump after five and a half years to get used to PIMs for the Palm?
Greetings,
Before using the PIM serial my T5, but since I've tried DateBK not return to them. They provide a wealth of tools and customization for homework and diaries.
It is something like Palmfiction respect to eReader.
Once tested Agendus is very difficult to make do with less: just carried to the extreme simplicity philosophy / style / power characteristic of Palm. I think that Palm was stagnant in the early versions, when available just a few hundred KB of memory and has not changed in more softwae amount of the PDA.
jaja .. I think we did not use the PIM ... if you can put the birthday in contacts, and if they can repeat the task, one need only select the button "details" and has an option to "repeat" thank you very much ...
In any case, for the low response from people who use the Palm Zire in the survey, I suspect that those who buy them do not use them beyond the PIM ... and therefore no concern mostly the subsequent maintenance or read articles on -line (like these).
