Replacement for a Palm PDA?

I just lost my Palm Tungsten E2. I have all of my contact and schedule info in my Palm Desktop Software, but no handheld device to download it to. Now I can't find a handheld anywhere that is not a phone that requires either a $30 a month service charge for two years to act as a phone (which I don't need) or for me to pay $400 - $600. Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear the bad news of your loss.
It is pretty much impossible to find new E2 units anywhere. However, eBay has a robust market for pre-owned Palm handhelds. Another place to look is www.directfix.com or www.usedpdaparts.com who sometimes have refurbished units for sale.

IPod Substitute For a Palm PDA??

I've been using a palm PDA for years (now using a Zire 72) using its calendar, address book, memos, viewing pics, etc., etc. functions and I am able to use the Palm Desktop application with both my powerbook and a PC (and the PC version of Palm Desktop is more sophisticated) to syn and backup the pda. So, my question is if the latest iPODs are a viable substitute for the PDA?

I don't think it could be a true substitute because while you can view info and sync it to your computer, it lacks the capability of adding info on-the-fly. There is really no text input method, nor have any of the hacks seemed to be able to create an expeditious procedure.
So while you may be able to view someone's contact info, if you received new contact info, you'd have to wait until you returned to your computer to enter that information, and then you'd have to sync it back to your iPod.
I would still stick to a separate PDA, if the necessity to add info in the field is important to you. Hope this wasn't too verbose.

Looking for a good replacement for the Palm PDA - that can sync w/ ical

Anyone have some suggestions? I am with T-Mobile so the iPhone is not an option.

Blackberry, using Missing Sync or something similar. Or you get an unlocked iPhone, which is better.

How to load a large image for display on the Palm PDA

Hello:
I have a large image I would like to display on LV for Palm PDA. The documentation states there should be a 64K chunk limitation for VIs to compile on the Palm. Therefore, I decided to break this image up into 2D arrays of less than 64K per subVI. My 3.2 Meg image therefore has about 224 2D array subVIs. My motivation is to somehow use the build array function (with concatenate inputs) to reconstruct the image at runtime. I can compile each 2D array subVI as a test, but my attempt to reassemble and compile is futile. When I try to use the build array with only 8 of these subVIs in a top level VI the compiler complains its still too big of a VI. Using get info, memory for this top level states total ~2
3K of memory usage.
So can someone help me with this problem. Is there another way to load this size of an image into memory so I can display it on a picture control?
BTW, this can build on LV for PocketPC.
Thank you
Robert

Hi Robert,
You are correct in that one of the limitations of the Palm OS is that files cannot be larger than 64 KB in size (as stated on page 5-3 of the LabVIEW PDA Module User Manual). The suggested workaround is indeed to have a top-level PDA VI that calls subVIs, and this top-level VI can then have a total file size larger than 64 KB.
My suspicion is that with the picture control on the Palm OS, even if you are breaking up the image into smaller subVIs, the process of building the array to reassemble the picture is still forcing the Palm to allocate memory for each of those 2D array subVIs to place on the top-level VI's picture control
and thus causing the Palm to complain about not having enough memory. The LabVIEW PDA User Manual also states that "There is a total limit of 64 KB on all front panel array data". Thus, when you are trying to use the build array on the top-level VI, the 64 KB limit on front panel array data is still being exceeded -- even with only 8 of these subVIs.
The following KnowledgeBase article KB 38EJRHFQ: How Do I Put a Picture or Image on My LabVIEW PDA for Palm Front Panel? states that as a workaround, you can shrink the size of your image by using 4-bit or 1-bit data instead of the standard 8-bit pixmap representation.
This is really just a limitation of the Palm OS and the fact that there is simply no way of displaying that much front panel information for your picture. Either way, you would need to build up the array of pixels for your bitmap, and for a 3.2 MB image, I don
't believe there is any way for the Palm OS PDA to display the image in its entire at once.
Sorry about that...

Apparently I was wrong about the "free" part. The software is shareware.

Looking for a new PDA/Phone

I'm looking for a new PDA/Phone that is iSync 2.4 compatible for my new AT&T account. I will switch to iPhone early in the new year but need a PDA/Phone now. Appantly AT&T is out of Nokia PDAs' at the moment.

But I can not find a list of compatible devices under 10.6 . Only a 10.5 device list is online.
The 10.6 iSync Compatible devices list is still up-to-date except for the references to Palm devices. Apple has not added any new devices to iSync since Leopard was released in October 2007.
Mobile me and other work arounds are also not an option for me , as I travel allot and the international data roaming charges would easily exceed the price of the iPhone within one month.
MobileMe works over WiFi too, so you could just turn off 3G/GPRS data whilst roaming and sync when connected via WiFi.
So, I am looking for a good / small / stable pda/phone with a good keyboard that can sync Ical / and address book over bluetooth.
Do you mean a you want a physical QWERTY keyboard? That's going to limit your choices considerably, and any Windows Mobile or Blackberry devices will need third-party software to sync with a Mac. Palm's WebOS is not yet syncable with a Mac except for going via Google over-the-air, and the same is true with Android devices.
There are hundreds of Nokia & Sony Ericsson phones that sync via Bluetooth and have POP3/IMAP email clients, but almost all don't have a QWERTY keyboard.
Also, unless you buy the phone unlocked, you'll be even more limited by what your network provider offers.

10.5 won't network with Palm PDA device

Despite enabling SMB file sharing and doing everything else I could think of to continue using my Palm PDA to access and copy files on and from my Imac desktop, I found that my file sharing utility on the Palm (WiFile Pro 2.12) which had worked fine under OS 10.4 simply can' seem to access any more my MAc hard drive. I had been using wi-fi to connect the Palm device into my router for the Mac.
Now when I try to connect I keep getting indications from the Palm device that the MAC file system was closed to my attempts to connect.
QUESTION: Has anyone any advice on a new shareware r other software that will enable current Palm handheld devices to network for file sharing with a desktop Mac using one's existing wi-fi setup in the home environment.

Hi,
I haven't managed to get smb to work, but I have got an ftp connection through my Airport Express. See my reply to Michael K Murray Re: wifile pro - smb problem.
For transferring files between the two, plain Bluetooth send works.

Sync Palm PDA via WiFi?

Has anyone successfully synced their Palm PDA (I have a TX) with their Mac using WiFi? I get them to recognize each other, but when I actually do the sync, it just sits there for a couple minutes and then tells me it couldn't make a connection. I don't understand that, because I have a pretty strong signal from my computer on the PDA, so they are connected, the sync just won't take place.

I have the same problem. Same PDA - Palm T/X, can't connect to my AEBS. When I take the Palm to other hot spots - some times it can connect, sometimes not. Anybody know anything about whether or not this entails changing settings on the Palm and/or the AEBS? Palm has been of absolutely zero help. Any help from Mac folks appreciated.

What palm PDA-only items work with Windows Vista?

I'm looking to purchase a Palm PDA-only (no phone please), but I have Windows Vista. Which models actually DO work with Vista?
Post relates to: Tungsten C

Any device should work with Windows Vista 32 bit. If you have windows 64 bit then any device with bluetooth will work via bluetooth, no device will work via cable.

Finding 3.0.1 CD for Desktop (Palm III-e) older desktop

I am looking for a CD for installing the Desktop Software for a Palm IIIe. I need version 3.0.1
I downloaded the version 4.1.4 but it is a step backward and isn't easy to read at all, no color looks good,
gridlines in the calendar are nearly invisible and overall I think it is a step backward from the older one.
Does anyone know how to find the 3.0.1 CD ?
Post relates to: Palm IIIe

Unfortunately that software is no longer supported and provided by us. If you want to have this older software you would need to look at places such as eBay or craigslist.com

How does one read memo pad items in Palm PDA?

I would like to read a memopad text file into my LabVIEW Palm PDA compiled program. I would think that this would be easy?

The source code of the Memo application is shipped with CodeWarrior.
The location will be something like C:\Program
Files\Metrowerks\CodeWarrior\(CodeWarrior Examples)\Palm OS 4.0 SDK
Examples\Memo
I haven't read all the source code,
but it seems that the Memo application creates one database that
contains records that are the memo items.
If you just need to read the texts of a memo item,
I th
ink you can write a C function that opens the database, gets the
record associated with the memo item, reads the records, and returns a C
String.
Wrap this C function with a Call Library Node to use it from LVPDA.
I imagine the prototype would be something like
char* GetMemoText(uInt32 index) where index is the index of the memo item.

Can I create a java app for my palm zire 71 that uses floating point calc

I am an eclipse user that is looking at studio creator 2 and was wondering if I could create a java app for my palm zire 71. I have read alot about no floating point support in midp... is that true for java on the palm? If so, how does one calculate with floats and doubles to do sqrt functions etc?
Thanks in advance for your time
Dean-O

I looked at netbeans and it does not support floating points in midlets. Not good for palm app if no floating point ability. J2ME supports floating point but in netbeans... is uses midlets and there are no floating points. Now what does one do? Not that dreaded C++
THanks in advance

Flash for the Palm Pre

Now that flash is on general release where do I go to download the Palm Pre version?

It seems any post or forum that Adobe doesn't like gets "frozen" out when discussing Flash for the Palm Pre. The missing Palm Pre Flash and the "shift of blame" by Adobe to Palm has been a common theme (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2748422#2748422 as an example) is becoming tiresome.
Yet if you ask Palm they tell you its nothing to do with them, why would it be? That is such a silly dead-end statement that I suspect Adobe are far to embarrassed by what's actually happened. If they want to prove me wrong then how about they release the flash to me rather than Palm? LOL now, there's a novel idea!
I suspect this has something to do the popular rise of Android, an operating system for mobiles that was still in design when webOS for Palm Pre was already established. It appears, and no one denies, that the demo on the Palm Pre, you know the one, the one that made us all go out and get the Palm instead of the iPhone, was an iphoney.
We have been duped.
While much of the web relies on Adobe technology at the moment the end of their business cycle is in site, not just HTML 5, but sentiment in general. The lack of respect, clarity, accountability and honesty in the main to blame.

Buy JVM for iPAQ/PalmOS PDA device?

Hello everybody.
I am looking for buying a PDA device(iPAQ or PalmOS).
As I can saw from the specifications of each device I am interesting in, none of them include any CD with any JVM model.
I looked for J9(WEME) and crEme JVM.
However, I can not understand if I have to buy any of these JVM seperately or do I have just to give to IBM or NSICOM my serial number
of my device in order to give me JVM free?
On the other hand, at PalmOS device (e.g. Tugsten T5) I read that you just give you the WME free.
The link is :http://www.palmsource.com/press/2004/021004_ibm.html
At least, can somebody tell me the prices of WEME and crEme Java Virtual Machine?
I really appreciate any help.
Regards,
kalgik

Jimmy if you have any luck, please let me know as i am in exactly same position! its quite frustrating!

Changing OS for my Palm TX

I've been using my Palm TX with my PC for a number of months. Now, I'm thinking about getting rid of my PC (finally) and using the Palm with my Mac.
If I do this, will I be erasing all the data in my Palm when I sync it with the Mac?
And if I want to, can I sync with the Mac and PC? I have a PC at work and I may need to use BOTH OS's with my Palm.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm not trying to poke you in the eye here, but when you ask, "…what is a conduit?" my reaction is that you have a lot of reading to do! If you don't know what a conduit is at this point, then you're going to run into severe and insurmountable problems with enabling synchronization.
I would start with documentation for the Palm Desktop, likely bundled for Mac OS X on the install CD-ROM provided in the package with your handheld organizer. Read that thoroughly and be sure that you understand it before you install the Palm Desktop and attempt to configure it and synchronize with it.
And be sure that if you decide to use either iSync or the Missing Sync for Palm OS that you thoroughly read and understand the documentation available for them, as the documentation for the Palm Desktop—and the synchronization technology it describes—have very little to do with either of these applications. iSync and the Missing Sync for Palm OS are very different applications, and little of what is described for iSync is applicable to the Missing Sync.
There is nothing 'plug and play' about the Sync Services framework. It is a complex construct, and you can easily and irreversibly damage or destroy your data records if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
