A week with nothing but a handheld

We left the laptop at the office and ran a full week of work from a coat pocket.

What worked

Mail, the diary and notes were never a problem. The surprise was battery life: one charge lasted until Friday.

  • Mail over an infrared phone link
  • Notes written with the stylus
  • Music on the train

What to set first

Open the sync panel and enter auto=hourly. The machine then keeps itself current whenever it sits in the cradle.
