Palm Lifedrive
5 of 5 found this helpful What attracted me to the LifeDrive was the fact that it was more than just a PDA. It could be used as an MP3 player, an external hard drive, an SD card adapter, among other things...
Shortly after first receiving it, I had to download and install the operating system update from Palm. That resolved several issues with the LifeDrive, mainly frequent reboots.
I have installed the Palm pdf reader, with which I am able to read pdf books without having to reformat them (though the screen is small but it's great when traveling), plus plucker and iSilo to read other books and keep my Bible library with me. Then I installed an open-source media player (TCPMP) and am now able to play *.ogg files as well as some other video files. Pocket Tunes, which came with it wanted money to play ogg files, so I just went open source, which is my preference anyway.
It is not perfect, but it serves my needs quite well. It is used as a media player both with the built-in speaker and with headphones, so it has replaced my mp3 player. I am delighted with the fact that should I want to increase my music or switch types, I can just swap out SD cards, which is much more convenient than hooking up to a computer and swapping out the contents, as I have had to do on my old mp3 player. Plus my daughter uses it to play a couple of games and to work on "The Wizard of OZ" and I use it to keep track of my life, my shopping lists, and the stack of notepads I carried around with me is being dutifully entered into this little wonder. No longer do I need multiple notebooks to carry my notes and info - it is all in this little PDA.
It is the perfect size to fit into a side pocket on my purse, and also in the chest pocket of my jacket when I'm so inclined. At times I wish the screen were larger but if it were it would not be near so portable....
While Palm does not offer upgrades there are a few aftermarket companies offering tools and software so that this little LifeDrive can be upgraded, made faster with a longer battery life with larger disk space by replacing the microdrive with flash memory. Of course, these aren't covered by warranty but later on I am seriously considering the upgrade, especially as Palm is not planning on making more of these little gems.
I can surf the Internet using wifi, check my emails, use bluetooth to transfer files, but mainly I use it to keep track of my life and notes and as a very portable media player. It does all that I wanted to do and more. It is the closest one can get to having a miniature laptop to tote around, and in fact was chosen just for that reason....

Good book for any writing
There isn’t any point in writing if nobody reads your books. Joe gives tips on writing engaging sales copy that can also be applied to book and article writing as well. I found the contents useful and will definitely refer back to it.
