Pda??

OK, so i can get this really nice pda for pretty cheap, but it has a windows based OS on it...and a most of the logger programs ive seen either say, laptop or PDA with Palm 3.5 or above. And im wondering since this is windows based, would it basically be considered a laptop? Basically, i just need to know if this will work or not for any logger program...thank you

No, Windows based PDA is not the same as a laptop. Will not work at all. It's a different platform. Windows CE (Mobile) whatever you want to call it, is no where close to the same architecture as a Windows machine.

if i remember corectly david work at a cell phone company so he knows what hes talkin about.

hmm...damn that sucks...is there anyway you could make it work? or is there any programs for the windows based pda that you know of?

There are some WindowsCE based programs. I forget what I use on my Palm, but they make a WindowsCE version of it also. It'll come to me in a couple minutes I bet.

I don't get what you're asking...are you asking if the PDA could be used as a laptop, or just as a logger?

If you just want to use it for a logger, than just find a program that runs off of Windows and you'll be set.

I was just wondering if there was a difference between a pda running a windows based OS and a pda running off of the palm OS. And there is, then i was wondering since the pda is windows based, if i could get a program thats meant for a windows based laptop and if it would work on the windows based pda. That sounds very confusing...lol, i hope you understand. So i guess i have to get a logger program that uses Windows CE...thanks for all you help

I have never seen a logger program that works on the Windows PDA OS. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but everything I have ever seen only works on a Palm OS.

I heard talk awhile back of someone attempting to use a Palm OS emulator on a windows based PDA so they could run logging software, but I don't know if it worked or not.

Ya as I said earlier... NO! Find a program that will work with your Windows Mobile device and use that.

I'm still looking for the one that I know of. Just can't remember the name yet.

Yeah man, i understand now...thanks for the help. If and when you remember that program, lemme know...thanks for all the help
