must have hardware

imported_lauzobe · 01-19-04, 07:43 PM

I've been into the the PPC world for a year now. Use to own a Palm IIIxe for almost three. Use to take my wife's Axim x5 to familiarize myself, as I used to say. But just made the full switch recently with an iPaq 2210. Loooooooooove it!

I'm looking for suggestion of Killer/must have or you die hardware.

Thanks

I have noticed that you have a SD Card. First and foremost you should have a USB card reader for your desktop. This will come in handy for copying over large files like video or song files. This is a must if you don't already have one (IMO).

I actually have a SanDisk MMC reader, a Sandisk CF reader and also a 6-in-1 Dazzle DVD Creation Station 200 which also a video input device to import video from composite or s-video sources.

thanks

The next thing I would look at is a wifi card and a cable to connect your PPC to your cellphone (if you don't already have these items). You can take surf the web at any available hotspots in your area or use your cellphone to connect to the internet.

Something I have never used, but would love to have is an SD radio for your 2210. I would buy one for when I go to workout but I already have one that is much smaller. If you listen to the radio often, I would definately get an SD radio card for your 2210.

Wifi is one of my next thing. I was thinking of the linksys wfs12.

Do they really have an SD radio card, where?

thanks

Here's a CF Radio.

The only SD Radio I've seen is for the Palm OS. Not sure either is a very good idea. Seems like a separate radio makes more sense to avoid sucking up your precious PDA battery life just to listen to radio. Plus they are kinda expensive for just a radio.

I must have gotten the CF radio and SD radio confused. Sorry about that mix-up.

gps. i hate asking for directions.

Radio, your right it's not worth it, I was just surprise that it existed.

As for the GPS, I'm getting the Teletype World Navigator Bluetooth Global Premium GPS bundle soon. As you can see, I already list it in my signature.

thanks
