How do you use your PDA?

[matt poole]

Hi,

Can you help a fellow iPAQ owner! I’m in the last year of my degree and as a supplement to my major study I need to find out about how PDA and smartphone owners use their devices.

Could you follow the link below and answer 6 questions, this is a genuine final year study and you would be helping me put together a good dissertation.

Thanking you in advance

Hey! theres no 15 and below option for age. I'm 13.

[matt poole]

Sorry Slapster!

I've adjusted the age group to include 15 and under ;)

Fell free to fill respond whatever age you are!

Thanks again

Matt

1062: Duplicate entry '127' for key 1

I did it too but got this.

[matt poole]

The problem is fixed now, I'd realy appreciate it if you tried again.

Thanks for pointing out the problem :)

(For those among you who know mySQL I'd used a TINYINT datatype for my id field and that only goes up to 127 entries! oops!)

I got the same message. Do you want me to try it again?

I did it again and got this message:

"Your record has sucessfully been submitted
Thank you for your time."

So I guess it works fine.:)

Your record has sucessfully been submitted
Thank you for your time.

BTW, I like to code HTML on my ppc. It allows me to play with sites and do some of my webteam duties away from webteam.

I was thinking a "other" catagory with a text input would be appropriate.

[matt poole]

Thanks ultimate, yes that worked.

Thanks for your suggestion strick, its too late to add more to the survey now. But I will certianly mention your html coding into my write up as an example of other innovative uses.

btw do you use a specific package for your coding or do you just write it in notes or word? I would like to get some software I could code on the go with - its a good idea :)

cheers
