MEMORY

I upgraded from the Tungsten E2 because it didn't have enough memory to run some of my drug references. They would run, but very sluggishly.

128 Mb is plenty of room for all my data. I added a 128 Mb MMC card on top of that for extra space. I store all my contacts and schedule there as well as my drug references and some photos and I added some children`s games. The system runs faster than my Tungsten, even with more data and software.

The flash memory feature is really a necessity and I wouldn't recommend anyone go without it. One of my colleagues doesn't have one on hers and whenever she forgets to charge it, she loses all her data.

GRAFFITI

There is no dedicated writing area here, unlike with the Tungsten. You have the choice of writing on the application itself (which causes problems sometimes, because I `d activate things I didn't want to activate) or tapping an icon and bringing up a writing area resembling that in the Tungsten. I found Graffiti to be less sensitive in TX than in my Tungsten. I have to press the screen harder and it makes more errors than in Tungsten. With Tungsten, I could use my fingernail or a pen to write, but with this, I often found only the tip of the stylus would do and I needed to press down for it to really work.

BATTERY

Battery life is impressive. I could go for days without charging. I consult it quite a bit when at work. Of course, if I spend an hour playing a game, the battery will run down, but it does hole its charge well.

I did once have a Palm with a charging cradle. Unfortunately, neither this one nor the Tungsten came with one. I would much prefer that to a cord plugged directly to the wall, but it's a minor nuisance.

SCREEN

Because it doesn't have a dedicated writing area, the screen size is bigger, which makes it nice for viewing photos. I love how they look on my TX. Nice and bright with no distortion.

COMPATIBILITY

There were some programs that worked on my Tungsten that were incompatible with my TX. I think that's a problem with many computers and software, but I did find I had fewer compatibility problems with the Tungsten.

WIFI

I tried it a few times and at first, I thought the system was so slow. It couldn't make a connection and when it did, it took forever. Then, I went to McDonald's, which must have a very fast connection. Was I ever wrong to think this little unit couldn't handle WIFI. I just have to go where they have more oomph.

SUMMARY

Overall, the TX is a nice PDA. Of the ones I've owned, I'd choose this one again, if only because it can handle my drug references. It would be nice if it were compatible with some of my software, but we can't have it all. Were it not for the compatibility issue and the more difficult to use GRAFFITI, I'd give it 5 stars. Because of it, I can only give 4. Still a nice PDA.
