Readers of Mod-Blog know that I am an on-again, off-again fan of the Palm platform for PDAs. While my first PDA was a Phillops Nino (running Windows CE), every PDA since then has been a Palm: Palm IIIc, Palm VIIx, Kyocera 6025, Palm Tungsten C, Kyocera 7135, etc. But when I got my T-Mobile SideKick II (integrated non-Palm PDA and phone), I decided to let go of the Palm history and go whole-hog on the new platform. It has been working wonderfully, and the only thing I miss is Laridian's MyBible which kept the Bible at my digital fingertips at all times.
Well, I have taken the plunge back into Palm-dom again. This time with the Garmin iQue 3600. "Why?" You ask. Because the Garmin provides one function that the Sidekick can not - GPS location and routing. With all of the weddings we have to attend this year in strange places, it is becoming obvious that having GPS and mapping software along at all times is EXTREMELY useful. Especially to a person like me who has so little sense of direction, I sometimes yet lost between my bedroom and the bathroom. It was available on Woot for about $250 (normally $500+), so I took a chance.
So far, the experience has been great. I will plan to post an article later in the week detailing: my general review, some cool bits of software I have found, and how I am keeping my Palm and Sidekick II in sync without losing data on either side.
