I recently treated myself to a shiny new pda, the rather lovely Dell AximTM X51.
I had long done without a pda, after my ancient and much-loved Palm III finally turned up its toes.
But now that I am becoming a bit of a road warrior of late, I figured it was time to lash out and bring myself back into the 21st century.
Sitting in Adelaide Airport, waiting for a flight out to Port Lincoln, even afforded me the opportunity to play with the free wireless connection, the pda’s browser and go visit a few blogs.
My own blog looked fine, as did Allan’s and many others. But when I went to read Chris Pratley’s OneNote blog, in the MSDN developer space, the text disappeared, leaving only the graphic furniture. The same was true of any of the blogs on msdn.
I didn’t have time to check too many blogs, as shortly after disappointingly finding this my flight was called, but perhaps Chris, if you are reading this, can you update me on why this is so?
I was visiting Chris’ blog to find out if my beloved OneNote was going to have a PocketPC version, rather than using ‘Notes’ (because I can password protect OneNote material, but cannot protect ‘Notes’). Turns out that indeed there will be a pda version released for the likes of me — yippee! Let’s hope that I can use my pda to write blogs via OneNote…
And congratulations, Chris et al, for going Purple and Gold with Office.
Oh, and I’m currently testing pRSSreader to see how ‘readable’ rss feeds are on a pda — I’ll keep you posted.
