palm vs. ipaq or other pda: Can anyone who has used a Palm and a windows os based PDA tell me which one is better to get?

We use Palms here in our medical offices, primarily for Epocrates (and we use Windows). We have purchased some HP iPAQs, but I hate it so much I'm going to by the TX with my CME funds.

I have problems with more than 2 of their PDA's and return them all for replacements and really do not recall having any problemsin doing so.I hope this helps with your issues.Steve

Thank you for the tip, A. Gordon, but unfortunately that download did not repair my problem. It did not repair the problem for many others that are using Palm with Vista either. I do check these things out when I see them. That is why I posted to Amazon, to prevent others the same issues. Palm is supporting their Treo, but not the TX. If you ever hear of another tip on this I'd be delighted to try it. Check out the Palm site for yourself, and see the issues from other owners. Do you have a TX?

Hello, We do apologize, we are not too sure. The information we received from PaperMate just states that this works for PDAs. We do know that this is not compatible with any iPhones or iPads. However, we were not too sure if it is compatible with Windows. We do apologize. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you, Maria

Yeah.. the PDA market has hit the skids. I would love to see a TX2 with a faster processer and 1 GB or more of memory. There has not been any real innovation in PDAs over the past few years.

Windows 7. I must be fair and say that it is a very fast machine . As a point to improve The touchpad is not as good as my last notebook sony vgs360

I have used both the old handspring Treo (before it was a phone) and the Dell Axim. I would recommend the palm hands down. I am actually online now to buy the new TX since my Axim is dying slowly. I am looking forward to the extra memory because evene with a 2 GB memory card in my Axim it still can be slow as molasses.Nanette Clapper

BTW, my wife and I have been longtime Windows users, and can both tell you that it is extremely disappointing and rather user-unfriendly. Touch pad 'gestures' are pretty unhelpful and inconvenient, Start menu is extremely lame--even if it is designed for a touchscreen, it is not so intuitive or useful. I regret not paying extra for Windows 7 OS, and now have to load it myself.

Not enough info about Windows 8, atm. But at first glance, I want this because I want to be able to access normal Windows 7 programs. For Windows 8, it appears that the tablet form (ARM) needs a special version of the app and these won't be necessarily the same as their x86/x64 counterparts.So, yeah...I think I'll save up for the Samsung. It has pretty much everything I need.

You can pray Amazon buys the operating system. http://www.geek.com/articles/gadgets/amazon-may-acquire-palm-from-hp-for-webos-20110930/

Even if places are using 802.11G a 802.11B device will still connect... just not at the speed a G device would.Palm is not releasing any new PDAs. The T/X was their last one. They are releasing smartphones (Treo) and their new mobile companion (stripped down laptop).

I really thought yes, and I've used it with it before. However, I see their list of apps has changed so now no, it doesn't have the palm rejection or anything fancy. But it does work with it as a decent stylus. You can see a list of the aps and which features work in which aps on their site here -&gt; http://www.adonit.net/jot-ready-apps/ I guess you'd need the script. It makes no sense why both wouldn't work. I wonder if anyone has used the touch with Penultimate before? did it stop working or am I just really impressed by how well it works as a dumb stylus? sorry, hopefully you went to the link and can figure it out. Things are always changing so if it doesn't now, it might

it was my favorite operating system, great phone (mostly) but you're 2+ years too late. HP killed webOS hardware development a long time ago & support for the app developer / catalog is long-gone. just tumbleweeds rolling down main street http://www.webosnation.com/tags/app-catalog

I am on my seventh Windows Mobile device. I have had one and only one WM upgrade for any WM device I have ever owned - and it was an iPaq! Don't blame HP for limitations induced my MS and followed by just about every manufacturer of WM PDAs.

There were SOME Danas that came equipped with wireless and operating on Palm OS. All of the AlphaSmarts are wonderful devices but if you're looking for modern connectivity, I'd look elsewhere.

The software comes on a cdrom supplied when you buy a new Z22. You could google for it, I found this site which may help http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33529_en.htmlIf you've had Palm desktop working and now it doesn't it may be the Z22 Palm's QA became very poor in the latter years. Think of an android based product many of the palm apps are avaiable for android.

No more Palm hardware of software since about 2010. No support for old handhelds. I still use my original Palm Zaire m150, and keep using my software installation discs as I upgrade to new laptops every few years, but have had to use 32 bit operating systems. This is the end of the road.
