PalmPilot

[ComputerCrazy2]

A friend of mine gave me this thing the other day, and neither one of us really know what it is, but I've been playing around with it, and trying to get information about it on the internet. Then I thought of this place and I thought maybe you all can help. It says PalmPilot at the top towards the left, and on the right it has USRobotics. And it has a little cradle thing it can sit in, and it plugs into the computer.  Just wondering what this thing is and what I do with it.  Thanks

Did it look like this:

Oh, okay

*looking up info*

From the information I have, it probably cant do a large amount of things, but its main purpose is for scheduling events, taking notes, etc

Try going to the US Robotics PDA website (if you can find it) there should be synchronizing software there that will allow you to backup the data to your computer, and use your computer to make events and schedule them.


The device can probably hold 1-16 MB of memory, which is great for a device like that.

Ok  thanks      one last question... it has a Mail on it, and it has Inbox, Outbox, and all that, and has an option to create and send a new e-mail. From what I've figured out, I'm suppost to somehow be able to hook it up with my e-mail and be able to receive and send e-mail on it... Do you know anything about that?   Thanks

You are going to need the synchronization software to do that.
Does the PDA have a color screen?

(If it does, than it might have wireless capabilities through an SD WiFi card)

Search around on their website ( http://www.usr.com/home.asp ) and see if they have the software

Yes, it has a backlight that you can turn off and on.   Thanks for the link
