I need a PDA, but I know nothing about them.?

Question

I recently decided to accept the fact I have Adult A.D.H.D. Though I take meds for it, I still suck at remembering things, and am in danger of losing my job because of it. I am also a mother of a child with A.D.H.D. So as you can see, I have tons to remember.  My online Calendars are great, But I need mobility to be sure I'm on the ball. I use google Calendar, but it only works halfway with my phone. I also own a Creative Zen X-fi (with wireless LAN) It has a calendar you can sync to, but of course, NOT Compatible with Google Calendar.  

I am looking for a PDA. Not one that is Integrated into a phone either. Any other bells n whistles are fine though.  It just has to work with Windows Vista, be able to hold quite a bit of Info, in the form of multiple calendars and "to do's," easily fit in the pocket, and relatively easy to operate.  Does anything come to mind with those specs...please let me know...I tried looking for one myself, but I have no idea what to even look for as far as best brands, or capacity where these are concerned.  I did a google search and was faced with numerous names and models I wasn't even sure was current.  Anyone know of a PDA, that would suite my needs, work with Vista while being compact and reasonably priced, thanks

You know, there's a hell of a lot you can accomplish with a fifty cent paper notebook from wal mart.

Actually the "PDA" as such is more or less in the process of going by the wayside.  It's been pretty much replaced by, yes, high end cell phones that do everything they did *and* function as phones as well.  The catch being you get stuck with that great monthly charge for phone service. 

Of course, you can outright buy a high end phone for it's PDA functionality, and use it without phone service at all if you want to. 

But there are still some dedicated PDAs you can find, that could be considered more or less "current."  Newegg has a few from HP.  They run a variation on Windows, and no doubt will sync with Vista just fine, given the right software on the desktop side, and no doubt there's apps that will run on them.  

I don't know what you'd consider a "reasonable" price though.  The high end at Newegg is 400 and some odd dollars.  That's a lot.  You can get a high end phone for that, some of those have faster processors in them too. 

I don't know either on the whole.  I still think those 50 cent paper notebooks are pretty damn useful.

And yeah for maybe a little more than 400 you could even get one of those fancy new "IPAD" type devices, though I don't think any that come with Windows are out yet.

There's the Palm Pre and Pixi. It's great for multi-taskers, has 8-16gb of memory, and has a great calender, memos, to-do lists, tasks, (etc.). I have the Pixi from Verizon Wireless, and it's pretty awesome. But it's a stripped version of the Pre, so the Pre would actually be better because-twice the amount of memory, removable memory, bigger screen, and is a slide phone with a keyboard... But It's also more expensive. That's the only reason why I got the Pixi.

He simply feels that those type of behaviors and conversations are personal, and he does not desire to intervene. You might discover what you do is usual in view that it is among your husband and also you, however different humans would possibly not. I'm the equal manner that man or woman is; I think like I'm intruding while a pair talks like that or point out individual understanding approximately intercourse. If I did not appear away or flip I'll think awkward.
