use my PDA more

Thanks to my Palm Zire 72, which now travels around in my backpack.

Using the PDA more for contacts, calendar entries, etc. Need to get back to using the camera now that it works again (and since I purposely left my point and shoot digital camera at home).

I’ve been adding more appointments to my Palm Zire 72 to help keep me on time for appointments. Unfortunately, although the built-in camera still seems to work, it isn’t saving the photos I take. I need to figure out how to fix this or send it in (oh no!) for repairs.

As I just wrote in another entry, my Palm Zire 72 was a gift from my office last October. I used it to copy all of my contacts, appointments, etc., which has been really helpful. I bought some expansion cards and used it as an MP3 player for a while until I bought an iPod. I tried using other applications on it but haven’t found one worth the trouble.
Overall, it has been great, but the battery life is really short. In fact, a couple of times it has completely died, requiring me to resync it with my laptop to get the data back. I wish there was a backup battery or similar that would store the data.
