Cool

Okay, I know we, who read this board, have seen a variety of ways to utilize our Visors. I am very interested to see what the top 3 uses are for you. Here are mine:

1) Read Docs/e-books
2) Scheduler/address book
3) Games

1) scheduler/organizer
2) time/expense/client tracker
3) e-books (e-plays, actually - i'm a theater artist)

as soon as i get a modem - i'm holding out for the six pack - i'll be using it for email, i'm often out of town, and don't have room or money for a laptop.

Cool

1)Download e-mail, Its cool to answer your e-mails during the day, say when your waiting on line in the supermarket.
2)Schedule/contact managers, I never forget any events because I set an alarm for everything.
3)Note pad/diddle bug, no more post it notes all over my office.

I've had my Visor about 3 weeks. Now that I've spent the weekend building some databases to manage my lesson schedules and student work plan records (I'm a teacher), here are my primary uses:

(1) lesson management
(2) PIM
(3) ebooks

My visor gets a lot of use, but if I had to guess, it would be:

1) Appointments
2) Address book
3) Tied - ThinkDB and Games

I use the TO DO and the MEMO features quite a bit, and I also use HandyShop often.

U use my Visor for the following:

1. I run a "rants" site (http://mcrump.webhostme.com) and I do all the Rants on the train ride home with SmartDoc, then use QEX to move them off the Palm.
2. Usual PIM stuff (Date book, to do, notes.
3. I play DopeWars way too much.
4. I have the Boston Bruins hockey schedule on there, so I can have the next date they are going to lose right my fingertips.

Well.....I don't actually *have* my Visor yet, but I snitch my husband's any time I can! I ordered mine (graphite VDx) earlier this week & hope to get it soon.

Just from my use of his & my anticipated use of mine, here's my answer:

1) Addresses/Schedule
2) Pocket Quicken
3) Avant Go (catch up on news, check out movies, joke of the day, etc.)
