Questions on how to best use the Casio PA-2400W

For all Casio users ...

What is the best way to use the Casio PA-2400W? I know CEGeek said he uses his for note-taking. And that seems to be the best use of this device.

What should one try not to do with this handheld/tablet? Meaning, given it's limited memory (8 ram) - what would be too much???

Well, IM would be a good idea, like IRC perhaps, but only if it has something like Calligrapher installed.. You could also make voice memos, if the Casio has a mic..

I'm going to experiment with using a GPS with it. But first I have to find GPS-enabled maps that will work in it.

Microsoft Streets and Pocket Streets 2002 with the update at Microsoft - and you should be able to do GPS.

Note that you must have Streets and Trips 2002 to install the GPS update.. I believe the file is a full version in itself (the update), so I cannot upload the update here, as I do have Streets and Trips 2002..

i wouldnt recommend this for irc or any serious input...

cmonex - please define "serious input"

serious input = more than two minutes of typing

are you joking? I mean, these 2.0 devices come set up with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Internet Explorer, handwriting recognition, an onscreen keyboard.

????

it is a pain in the a... to type anything without a real hw keyboard. IMO and YMMV

But there is help: the iBIZ KeySync keyboard. Compatible with the PA-2400 series, connects with the serial cable. It works decently from what little experience I've had.

If I wanted a keyboard - I would use my phenom of HP 360lx. But my thing with the Casio is handwriting. I don't have too much experience with that yet - so what's the tricks? What's the best programs for jotting down notes - and what tricks are involved with both taking notes and saving notes?

CmoneX I'll clean your mouth with soap

Please, I'm a newbie in english. Please define IMO and YMVV too!

IMO is In my opinion, and YMMV is Your Mileage May Vary.. I looked the latter one up on Google ..

I didn't have to look it up - I figured it out. (In case it's unclear what that means, Derek, it's a way of saying, "It may or may not work the same for you." )
