I use my PDA to listen to MP3, do word processing using Word Smith and Documents to Go. I also play games such as Insaniquarium and Mummy Maze. My latest game is "Vexed", a freeware, it is one of those brainy games where you have to find a way to destroy bricks by matching them together.
I am trying to encode movies on the PDA, but they are not so promising. Using image converter does not give me the smoothness I want, but the compression rate is great. Using Kinoma is good, but to get a great movie, I have to use Best Settings and 1000 Bitrate. Way to much to put into a MS. A episode of Friends is fine though.
Hey guys, say what you normally do with your PDA. Come share your views! :p

My T665c is basically my life. Besides my calendar (Datebk5) and address book (Supernames) I have HandyShopper, PDACookbook, Shadowplan, HandBase, AutoSlate, Gift Memo, and Meal Plan. As you can see, my Clie basically keeps track of my life. I download and store directions in Avantgo. I track various projects (work and personal) in ShadowPlan, which links to Datebk5. I use HanDBase to keep track of my CD's, DVD's, open Help Desk tickets, etc. I just got a MS, and downloaded some .mp3s. Bigger question is, what DON'T I do with my T665c?

I have a T-615C and love it. I use it mostly for logging orders for medical supplies at work on a database that I greated with HanDbase. At home I use it for reading the news via AvantGo and MobiPocket, reading ebooks, storing pictures of my family and dog, and of course, reading the Bible. I used to have a PocketPC (Compaq Aero2110), but love my Clie Much better because I feel it is much more user friendly.

I "upgraded" my T600C to 21MB usable memory by replacing the japanese OS with an english one. Now I would like to upgrade to an OS5 Clié but I am still holding to the 21MB (compared to 11MB in the OS5 machines).
So I am kind of stock with it. I guess, I will stick to it till somebody convinces me to sell it.
On the other side, it might be a not to stupid thing to do to keep it as an emergency palm ;-)

That is nice for a 21MB one. For me, I used around 10MB of space, having remaining 2MB. But 50% of my PDA are games. LOL. But I think I will review more PDA products after my exams. Been mugging these few weeks, spending some time in this forum during relaxing. But its cool. And FUN too :)

I use my old T665 to show my friends how much slower OS4 is compared to my new OS5 NX ;)

I use mine mainly for downloading email on the move.
I have recently changed to snappermail after using Mmail for over a year and now download via GPRS instead of dial up.
I also use the diary, address book, and MP3

Snapper Mail is a nice email program. Seldom get emails, and its not important for me to get it on the move, so hack it.. Hehe

I use it for the same thing as most other people I guess. Apart from Agenda stuff (just upgraded to Agendus 6.02 - what persuaded me? Boredom and a few beers - no **** - Ha Ha!
I have an English/Spanish dictionary and verb list/table since I have moved to Spain and I am still coming to grips with the language here.
I use WordSmith and DTG for documents and class notes etc.
I use SnapperMail for... guess what!
Mapolisis to get around (though not so much now!)
Pictures of my family, I love reading ebooks, and English book on the go! WA clock for ringing friends around the globe, Xiino for web browsing (though not much now since I have fast Internet access all day!)
Basically I just find it very useful and at other times a pain in the arse (it can be a love/hate relationship no?)
I am also trying MessagEase with the stamp thing, and I am kinda starting to like.
Personally I would love to upgrade, but $$$ and waiting for the right unit is holding me back.
Thanks for playing and take care
