PDA questions
Anyone here has a PDA that can save and read Adobe documents? {.pdf files) What model is that ? How much did you pay for that? What do you like about it or dislike about it?

1. Palm Tungten C...I use the Acrobat Reader for Palm
If you have nothing but text it's fine. If you have tons of diagrams in the text you will have a hard time because the parser doesn't know how to render it.

I have read entire books and stuff on there. Great for the john.

The technology is getting there. :)

2. I run a palm tungsten E
runs acrobat reader for palm OS, in fact it came with the program I believe.
I paid $100 dollars for it, its usually 200, but Audible.com give you a 100 bucks off if you sign up for a year of service (audio books). DH wanted that anyway, and I got a palm out of the deal.
I love it to be honest, I had a palm IIIxe before, but this is color screened and way way faster. I use it for just about everything, couldn't live without it, its my diary, my photo album, my check register, my address book, my mp3 player, my ebook and audio book reader, my calculator, my weight watchers journal and it has all my Medical Lecture notes on there, for revision of topics, they are in either .pdf or in .doc and it came with a word/excel/powerpoint reader too - It runs an SD card for memory expansion, and they are fairly cheap for a lot of space.
I like it because it is really small, thin, nice color screen and it was very affordable. It doesn't have WIFI, but its not a big deal to sync every morning, and I'm not really in that many places that would have a hotspot to download web pages and stuff, so I didn't need that functionality. Besides, its a LOT more money for that capability.
Hope that helps.

4. Thanks !
btw, what's the harddrive capacity in your PDA? Greater than 1 GB? or less than 1 GB?

I just wonder how much .pdf files you can store in that tiny handheld.
