My application is used on the venerable Palm TX and uses Bluetooth and
Wi-fi connections, which works nicely. I like this PDA and so do my
users as it just works and does the job perfectly without the
complication of adding a mobile phone into the mix.
Inevitably though, users do break things and trying to get hold of new
Palm TXs is proving a little tricky, especially in the UK where our
supplier tells us it is a problem to get hold of new ones (although I
have just checked Amazon.co.uk and they say they still have stock). I
know the TX has been around for a while but it seems that Palm are
focused on the smartphone side of things leaving "pure" PDA users out in
the cold and so I don't see a replacement coming from them.
So I was wondering how other people have dealt with this? One option I
am looking at is to get a windows handheld (like the HP iPaq 110/210)
and use the StyleTap emulation software. I don't like the idea of adding
another layer to something - especially something from MS - but it would
appear that this is the only route I am left with, if I still want a PDA
with both Bluetooth and Wi-fi that is not a mobile phone aswell.
Any thoughts?

Edward Jones
