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.
