jemck at 09:26am on 10/09/2008Dear technical people,
My faithful Zire 71 Palm Pilot seems to be on its way out. Responses on a few bits of the screen have become erratic but more crucially, it's failing to hold a charge anywhere near as well as it used to. Like leaving the house with it fully charged in the morning, I'll find it running on fumes by the late afternoon.
What to replace it with? Bearing in mind I don't particularly want a smartphone - not unless I can just stick my sim card in it and continue my pretty minimal mobile phone usage paying as I go.
What I really want is what I've got - something for diary/contacts/notes/expenses/photos/reading ebooks via mobipocket on the move, that synchs with my pc.
The addition of wireless net access would be good if at all possible. As in not having to pay an arm and a leg for mobile phone internet. Not interested in that.
Recommendations? Cautionary tales? Things I haven't thought of, on account of not being technically minded? All welcome.
