Hello all,
After retiring my MP120 for a Palm III a couple of years ago, I find myself
back in Newton fray with a MP2k I recently picked up pretty cheap. The
screen was horribly scratched, but after a $180 trip to Apple I have a
crystal clear new touchscreen and LCD . . . sweet!
I have gotten quite used to using the Palm and Palm Desktop Software for
scheduling and contact management. The Palm OS does this quite well and I
really like the instant button access to info - pull Palm out of pocket and
cycle through calendar, todos and contacts without using a stylus.
OK, that's nice, but for virtually everything else, especially notetaking
and information organizing, the Newt is *far* superior. We all know that.
I'm wondering how I integrate the two into my daily routine. Here's what
I'm doing so far, I'd love to get other's experiences!
-----------------------
Palm III & Palm Desktop
-----------------------
* calendar
* todos
* contacts
------
Newton
------
* notetaking in meetings
* diagramming / brainstorming
* USENET w/ InkSpot
* lite web browsing
* games
* misc organization of info
(detailed todo lists, research topics, outlines, voicenotes)
After a meeting I use BackTalk to beam any meeting notes and appointment
info stemming from the meetings to the Palm. Same for contacts, although I
rarely run into that situation.
Are other people doing this? I'm sure I'm not the only one living with both
and I bet some folks have some much more clever ideas that mine out there!
Cheers,
John "glad to be carrying a Newt again" Tobin
