Hi, I'm new to this forum. My name is Charles and I'm 14. I live in BC Canada. This thread would be for tips and questions for/about my UX50.
My Christmas this year is one I can enjoy. Although I have tons of homework before the Christmas break when I can enjoy my Clie, I am still very excited. I got this Clie with my own money and a Scan and Save card at the Futureshop's grand-opening today in BC Canada. I won 500 CND! (BTW there is a trick to those Scan cards just incase any people want to know, all the bar codes have a set of pattern, since there is four prize for the card, I have collected one of each and sure enough, I got all the prize, 10 CND, 50 CND, 100 CND, 500 CND with purchase required)
Anyway, this is my first Palm/handheld with more AI than a MP3 player :p . This is exciting, scary, frustating, and educational. So far I'm just getting to know where to put all the files and how to play back movies and such.
Since this is a very expensive device, I have second thoughts about taking her to school. I also have doubt about taking her to the streets. The keyboard and the screen is not very responsive. This isnt a problem with the Clie because I notice I have same problems with other PDA at my local store or any other that I may have used. Is there a specific way to use the pen and how do you type fast with a small keyboard?
Lastly, where can I download free softwares and games (no, I dont mean wares, I mean FREE).
