Any cool tricks and tips will be appreciated.

I'm pretty set on the TX. It got great reviews and I got to play with one in Best Buy. I just want to do some other cool stuff on it.
It's going to be a good weekend. Heading down to Charlotte, NC to go pick up a Mac Mini for my girl friend, then over to Best Buy to pick up a TX.

Trust me, you'll want the built in GPS antenna that most providers have... In fact, when i buy a new one it'll have one... | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 26 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 26 | Most GPS/PDA combos are windows based which I don't want. My GPS does everything I need it to and more. Plus, once I connect it to my computer, there is unlimited potential with my GIS software. The TX is $300. Definitely can't beat it for the money. My GPS was $400 alone, so I'm not really about to replace it.
So doesn't anyone know of some great sites for PDA hacks?

I bought a Nintendo DS instead.

I'd have gone the PSP myself if i had the cahs | | | | | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 69 UGN Poser | | UGN Poser Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 69 | I would strongly recomend the axim x30 (ebay) or the Axim X51v Handheld( direct from dell for only $499 - auto 35% off = $324 w/ free shipping. )
Although palm is a little more clean and compact, there are so manny more programs for the ppc, and better user forms.
