NEW THIS WEEK 



Dear Greg, 

Did you know? According to a recent poll posted at thinkmobile.com, mobile 
professionals reported that they use their PDAs and handhelds to stay 
productive and keep in touch more often than they use laptops, pagers, or 
"smart phone" devices. The reason for this growing trend in mobile computing 
is clear: today's handhelds are more than just organizers - with an array of 
feature-rich models and an increasing number of available applications and 
peripherals, handhelds are more like pocket-sized computers.

Road Warrior Tip #37 




Getting connected to the Internet from your hotel room can be impossible if 
your modem does not recognize the dial tone, which can happen in businesses 
with PBX phone environments. To avoid this, you can instruct your modem to 
dial without waiting for a recognizable dial tone. In Windowsc, go to the 
Settings menu. Click on Control Panel, then Phone and Modem Options. Choose 
Modem, and highlight your modem and select Properties.  Finally, uncheck the 
box that says, "Wait for dial tone before dialing".

There are several options to increase handheld performance:  
? Connectivity - You can now send and receive faxes and e-mail, or access the 
Internet wirelessly - all from your handheld! Upgraded models, such as the 
new Palm m505and Handspring Visor series,allow for wireless connectivity via 
clip-on modems. iGo offers Handspring modem modulesand the Omnisky Minstrel 
wireless modemfor Handsprings. Next, all you need is a service provider, such 
as OmniSky, and you're ready for the instant access you'd expect from a 
computer, all from the palm of your hand!  

? Storage - Current handheld space varies from 1MB of RAM up to about 24MB. 
With only 2MB of memory, a handheld can store up to 6,000 addresses, five 
years of appointments and 200 e-mails.  If you want to add applications or 
data, you can increase storage with memory modules for Handspring Visors, or 
with CompactFlash cards for the new Handera 330. In addition, expansion slots 
for memory are now available on Palm handhelds, with the arrival of the m500 
series models.  

? Keyboards - The size of handhelds makes using them convenient, but it can 
take you twice as long to enter data and work on files with their tiny 
keyboards and small styli. The smart timesaving solution is a PDA keyboard, 
which are available for Palm Connected Organizers, Compaq iPAQs, HP Jornada 
540and Handspring Visors. These ingenious devices fold up small enough to fit 
in your pocket, and then expand to the size of a normal, desktop keyboard. 

? Fun and Games - Use your handheld as a voice recorder, digital camera and 
GPS receiver? You bet! Several modules, such as the HandyGPS modulefor 
Handspring Visors, allow you to expand the functionality of your handheld, 
generally for less than $50. And, when you're done with work, it's time for a 
little play. Pass the time with a variety of games you can download to your 
handheld, from such software as 100 Great Games for Palm OS.

These are just a few suggestions for turning your ordinary organizer into a 
convenient computer. As the technology evolves, new peripherals are available 
all the time - turn to iGo for the latest and greatest accessories for every 
handheld make and model!
