Heart 101 quick noob questions

Rather than creating 15 threads i think ill create one thread with 15 questions. After finishing the manual, my head is swimming with questions for my Axim fleet.

Feel free to ask a quick noob question here. :)

0. Before i issue out 10 PDA's at my work, is there some free "Must have" application (feature, hack, or trick) that everybody uses and loves?

1. What is a reliable inexpencive screen protector. Im using cheap "fellows WriteRight" screen protectors and they are a couple years old and terribly blurry. 12$ per screen (for 11 screens) is a bit too expencive. (Except for my persional axim)

2. I want to know how to securely use my bluetooth. My super' is paranoid everyone is out to hack us and refuses to turn on the radios. Has this possibly been covered in a tutorial somewhere?

3. Can i hack my wireless button to only turn on one radio, and not both blue and wifi?

4. How do i encript the contents on my pda? And its memory cards.

5. Before i issue out 10 PDA's at my work, is there some free "Must have" software that everybody uses and loves?

6. Im thinking about trying PDA games, what is the most visually stimulating game i should demo first?

7. I go back and forth from my home PC (e-mail account B & C) and my work pc (e-mail account A) and plan to sync at both locations. What do i do to not accidently loose all my info? (Its ok if all my contacts merge im begining to edit their groups)


Ok maby i could only think of 8 questions. Im just getting rolling.

0. Before i issue out 10 PDA's at my work, is there some free "Must have" application (feature, hack, or trick) that everybody uses and loves? Sprite Backup, PocketBreeze, ContactBreeze

1. What is a reliable inexpencive screen protector. Im using cheap "fellows WriteRight" screen protectors and they are a couple years old and terribly blurry. 12$ per screen (for 11 screens) is a bit too expencive. (Except for my persional axim)What about some Screen protector from Dell or local electronic store
2. I want to know how to securely use my bluetooth. My super' is paranoid everyone is out to hack us and refuses to turn on the radios. Has this possibly been covered in a tutorial somewhere? Yes BT tutorial

3. Can i hack my wireless button to only turn on one radio, and not both blue and wifi? No but with third party SW it may be possible
4. How do i encript the contents on my pda? And its memory cards. Third party software but why

5. Before i issue out 10 PDA's at my work, is there some free "Must have" software that everybody uses and loves? See answer #0

6. Im thinking about trying PDA games, what is the most visually stimulating game i should demo first? Not into games

7. I go back and forth from my home PC (e-mail account B & C) and my work pc (e-mail account A) and plan to sync at both locations. What do i do to not accidently loose all my info? (Its ok if all my contacts merge im begining to edit their groups)Make sure that data are combine between the devices.


Ok maby i could only think of 8 questions. Im just getting rolling.

Id like to encript the information incase my PDA gets into the wrong hands. I set up a password on my PDA so that should be sufficiant for the internal memory, but im concerned with files saved to a CF card.

Thanks for the software reccomendations, ill start downloading stuff after i get a few more responces. Pocket breeze looks sweet.

The reasion i asked about the screen protectors is it appiers only 12$ ones were reviewed at this site, and i was looking for suggestions for cheaper ones.

Do you have a link for the bluetooth tutorial? I double checked in case i missed it, and still dont see it.

The BT tutorial is on the home page or look here
Pocket Secure program maybe something to look at. No incryption for the card withthis program but you can look at this but it is very expensive at $49.95.

I hope my answers help you.

This thread has some insights on the encryption question:
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=95124

I think the SoftWinter/Sentry 2020 solution is particularly good.

Thanks, they do! I was looking for the BT tutorial under the resources dropdown, i missed the icon on the homepage.
Yeash' that is expencive. I think ill just finagle that confidential info is only stored on the internal memory.

The Radio button will turn on whatever is used last. So if you only use BT start it up by the Icon in the bottom right corner and then turn it off by the button. As long as you don't start the Wifi it will always turn on the BT when the button is push and off when running. And that works the other way too...

I don't use a screen protector but if I did I might take a look at this, this, and this. These are about "homemade" screen protectors.

Also, do a search on this site for "homemade screen protectors".

Let us know what you think.
