Orange version of the 'i-mate/whatever-you-want-to-call-it'

Are you sure you all want to publicly display your mobile phone numbers?

Not sure on specific info's on em mate, they run a mobile version of microsoft windows, and you can do pretty much everything you can on a laptop/desktop only on a MUCH MORE portable level

You can get a GPS jacket/sdcard and lock onto satellites and do ur normal GPS stuff.

I use mine for Internet Explorer (FULL HTML browsing, NOTHING like wap)
emails straight to my phone, checked on a specific time
browsing my laptop from pda to sort files/ copy files/ stream mp3's/videos
I use excel for my rota at work, and word to type letters while out and about, then sync them with pc to print out.

Loads of stuff really, everything I do on my laptop!!!

Oh, and MSN Messenger

I now have a really good copy of wm2005 on mine, has enough storage etc etc but it is a bit risking doing the upgrade.

I use a piece of software called MTUX, has a number of things on it but I only use the remote feature which allows you to control your pda from pc when its connected and one of the features is to take screen shots from the pda

Thanks Fil sweeet

Anyone know of anything like that Weather bar Fil uses that can keep Flight Information on? Be handy for work, see then they are coming in, rather than having to keep going inside to check
