![]() ![]() Let’s spend some time in Part 8 talking about Syncing with Central. The Palm TX has been a real trouper for me for years but the iTouch '3G' may be what I am looking for.when/if it is released!Our blog series continues with 100 Things Every Revit User Should Know – Part 8. I was really looking closely at all the action scenes and lip-synchs to make sure all went well.Īdditionally, I read that the CPU in the Touch 2G is not as fast as the CPU in the iPhone 3G because of all the other things the iPhone 3G needs to do. Perhaps none were equal to the iPod Classic but very watchable nevertheless. Since I have an iPod Classic (not really a good comparison screen-wise but was able to compare the video quality at least as both Classic and Touch can pretty much do the same video quality-wise), I took the highest bitrate (2500) and highest framerate (30) and viewed it too!Īfter final review, my TX took the bait and the quality was acceptable at each setting. There were a few (4 max) dropped off frames as I got into the higher encodings but I sure didn't see that visually. I then challenged the Palm TX to each of them. Thank you everyone who replied! I kinda have a bit of change of heart after encoding the new James Bond 'teaser 2' commercial (HD) into a variety of bitrate/frame rate settings from 500K/15 to 1000K/15 in 100k bitrate increments. Guess I'll just keep recharging the Palm every night. Perhaps in a year or so the product and add-on apps will have matured but right now, it's not suitable for what I need. I want a linear list of contacts, not a series of "cards"Ĩ. i have no interest in playing games on a 3 inch screenħ. i have no interest in watching movies on a 3 inch screenĦ. Fortunately, I can read most of the email thru webmailĥ. altho the wifi works perfectly well, it doesn't play nicely with my mail server. I already have a perfectly good mp3 playerĤ. most of the add-on apps out there are not at the level of maturity to make them really usefulģ. I discovered a great weather app that really does provide the info I needĪs much as I like the iPod, it's going back to the store today (3 weeks of playing) for a number of reasonsġ. a highly-needed app that is currently on the Palm has moved to the iPod and is very well written, very stableģ. I've got a not-wireless Palm with a dying battery (need to recharge it every night) so I picked up the new iPod Touch for a number of reasons:ġ. I am really enjoying it and so far not missing the Palm at all! It is indeed a 'cool' device. In addition to all that I can watch videos and do other things I couldn't do on the Palm. Especially since Graffiti was becoming a problem with the loss of touch sensitivity on the TX. I thought I would miss Graffiti, but frankly, with a little practice, I like the keyboard better, and find it faster. And I was to either find Ipod versions or replacements for other Palm software I used (Splashshopper, SplashID to replace Passwords Plus, Bible software, etc.). I was able to download the free eReader app and download all the ebooks I have purchased without any problem. Internet and email I could do on the TX of course, but both are better on the Ipod. (And frankly this works better even in Outlook than Outlooks own Notes.) This allows me to sync notes to the Ipod and works well. But for now I am happy with the calendar function and even figured out a workaround for Notes - I created a separate Contacts folder called Notes and use the memo field. Would also like to see a year view, and have a way to go to a specific date. I sync with Outlook 2003 and would love to see categories supported. Yes, there are areas where I hope to see improvement - cut/copy/paste of course, and the calendar could be improved. I have now had a 16gb Ipod Touch for a little over a month and love it. I did NOT want to go to Pocket PC but wasn't sure what I could get to replace my TX. I've had it for 3 years and the battery was beginning to be a problem, and the screen was losing sensitivity. I had been using Palm devices for about 6 years, most recently a TX. ![]()
