^that's the one i'm buying.
is it like a virtual keyboard? like, to type "hi" you touch "h" then "i"?

also, do i need to buy a SD memory card to store songs on it? Can i use windows media player to put songs on it? If i'm at a wifi hotspot, can i go to any site? sorry, but this is my first PDA, and i am confused.

Please? Someone? i'm so confused.

wait, so graffiti is just free form, like regular writing? i have chicken scratch handwriting, will it be able to reconize it?

Answer 1

This is a nice summary of the ways to input data.

It refers to graffiti that some other people mentioned. You can also change it so it is a mini keyboard on the screen. Or buy a fold-up keyboard which is quite handy, too.

You can store songs on your actual PDA but if you want to store more songs, you will need more space so you can store them on an SD card.

There are a number of programs you play your songs from. Some of them sync with software programs on your PC which is convenient.

If you're at a wifi spot and it's free (or you have an account) you can go to most websites. You can't go to some such as listening to music.

Hope this helps.

its either you can buy a keyboard (its a nice keyboard and it folds up and stuff), which is about 100 bucks, but on the palms, there is something called grafitti on it, so you just write stuff with it. So you tap a button on it and the writing area comes up so if you want to write hello you wrtie it with the pen.
It has built in wi-fi (and bluetooth) so you can use it to go on the internet

It has 100mb that you can use to put stuff, but i suggest you get an sd card because 100mb is like all the space you have that you can use and you can't put so many songs. And sd cards aren't that expensive either, and is suggest you get a fast card becasue it can be slow, waiting for it to read info from the card on a slow card and it might even freeze at time if you use a slow one. So if you get an sd card buy a Kingston (they also come with a lifetime warranty) but they are quite expensive. I have a 2gb sd card and so far ive used almost 800mb and i have like almost 400 song on it

It comes with a built in music player, its called pocket tunes. Its great and you can get skins for it like a windows media player skin and it looks like windows media player and also you can listen to interent radio with pocket tunes.

I think this a good pda to buy. Hope this helps.

I very own a Tungsten E2,Which i admire! i could,if i could desire to, get a working laptop or workstation for backing up archives for long journeys,or the internet at living house for a larger demonstrate screen or problems with that variety,yet my PDA is extraordinarily sturdy. utilising the stylus to circulate into issues is going somewhat slower,yet with be conscious you are able to hand write it.i admire the load of the stylus,that's hefty,whether you don`t very own a PDA i`d advise you get a stylus for the little pad,utilising my palms is that this variety of difficulty for me on those issues,it`s greater precise. The classes aren`t that a lot diverse in my perspectives. although, power factors won't be able to be edited on the PDA,and particular issues won't artwork if downloaded. The wireless,reckoning on what PDA you`d purchase could could desire to come one by one,yet blue the the teeth comes outfitted in. you are able to browse our on line international and make calls on it additionally *by I don`t have the two of those attached i cant inform you procedures sufficiently it runs... i could desire to circulate all day answering your question yet i think of i`ll supply my finger tips a injury from typing in this keyboard >.<"

Answer 4

There is this thing called grafitti for your palm. Its almost like you writing actual letters but you have to do it in a certain pattern. Its very easy to master because the patterns are usually in the way you would write it normally. I believe there is an option for an on screen keyboard but its harder to use.

Answer 5

Uh, no. Graffiti requires you to write a specific way. There's usually an app called Giraffe which lets you practice writing, and tells you which way to do it if you hit HELP.
