Advice for Palm PDA
 
I am thinking of getting a PDA, checking the Palm that has wi fi wireless connection.

Any advice in general will be greatly appreciated. I am also a bit concerned about battery charging in countries with different voltage.

I bought my Palm Zire in Canada so that my charger is already dual voltage and is not a problem to use overseas. Check whatever you buy and if you can try to get a dual voltage charger...unfortunately you may have to buy it as an additional but wanted you to know they definitely are available.

Advice - don't leave it in a cab in NYC like my husband did.

Thanks for the advice.

Any certain model recommendation? I've only looked at Palm Tungsten and Palm TX.

Hi nancy161,

There are lots of detailed and very informative threads about PDA's on the Europe board. Just type PDA in the search box.

I have the wi-fi enabled Dell Axim x51v, and I am generally happy with it. However, it runs the Microsoft Pocket PC operating sytem. I previously had an old Handspring (no wi-fi)that operated with the Palm OS. Now that I have used both of them, I have to say I found the Palm OS more user-friendly.

Thanks lvk. I posted a question on that board.
I guess all the Palm products can work with the Mac systems.

Intrepid1: do you like your Palm Zire?
