My Laptop Replacement


With the recent discussion about how Palm is dead in the PDA market, I feel rather sad to know that one day this might come true (if only Palm starts doing something to buck up its reputation). Nevertheless, I have recently move back to using 2 devices -- one PPC phone, just for phone and SMS functions; and the other one, the Palm TX mainly for PDA usage!

Pairing up with my Thinkoutside Bluetooth Keyboard, I think the Palm TX makes a good laptop replacement. There are two softwares I feel that as Palm users, they come top into the MUST HAVE list --
FontSmoother (latest version 2.06);
CJKOS (latest version 4.63)

Although they seem to cost a lot (coz in USD!!), they are the most worthwhile softwares in my TX now! I can have crystal clear and sharp display -- almost like VGA screen; and also I can read online chinese newspapers like SinChew and China Press.

Now that Palm is back to life again, I wonder I should move on to get the Treo680... or should I just keep to the TX and iPaq rw6828 combination! So far quite happy...
