The Wax

April 27, 2004

Public Displays of Technology.

pda.jpgAs we're rounding this new vocational bend, our old Handspring Visor isn't going to make the grade. The University of Michigan was kind enough to give all of its students a PDA, however being a educational institution they weren't about to pony up the dough for the new hotness.

As a result we are in the market for a new PDA. Naturally there's no such thing that takes care of all the gadgets we currently haul about. We're talking PDA, Digital Camera, MP3 (Though I don't think we'd would ever replace the iPod) and ideally a cell phone. While were not sure of the system being used at the hospital, and have had great difficulty getting that information, we are curious about peoples experience with the current cache of PDAs out there. We're looking for recommendations, suggestions, or newer hotness.

I like the idea of having WiFi on the PDA, but that pretty much knocks out having a phone as well. Some day it will all be one perfect gadget. The dodad that does it all. Until that time, I'm afraid the ladies will have more clutter and the gents will be stuck with the murse.

Can't an iPod function as a PDA? I have a friend who gave me his brand new Palm because his iPod took care of all of his organizational needs. (It wasn't new enough - it wouldn't synch with my brand newer PB).

As for the hospital, here are things I know. At NYU they recommend MDs have Pocket PCs. But when I was Columbia we did a project with the Medical and Nursing schools that involved Palms.

I have a totally budget, black and white Palm Zire. It was $99. It suits me just fine, but my needs are simple.

I thought a "murse" was a male nurse?
