Handstory 2.3?

[OcellNuri]

So how well does the 2.3 suite work on the NX? I was trying the older Handstory on my NR and I liked it. Does 2.3 work pretty good on the NX? Also, what other apps would people recommend for offline web content on the NX?

I tried Mobipocket, and it just wasn't my bag.

Handstory works just fine on the NX HR+ screen & all...

Have you tried Isilo for web content? It's VERY cool! I have it set to update every three hours, so whenever I sync my Clie, I get new content.

:D YES, I'm a girl geek.

HandStory v2.3 works GREAT on the NX series, and it takes full advantage of the HiRess+ screen.

There are other choices out there (iSilo, AvantGo, etc.) but I like HandStory because it is an all-in-one Web clipping, DOC, Image, and Memo viewer.

It also integrates into Windows so that you can convert just about anything into HandStory. For example, you can right-click on a web page you are viewing, and you have the choice to either "Save to Palm" (convert all text on the page to a DOC file) or "Clip to Palm" (convert the HTML, and optionally all images to a viewable web page.)

Also, if I right-click on a picture, I can select "Save to Plam" and it will convert the picture (in any of several user-definable resolutions and color depths) viewable on the Clie. Once on the Clie, if the image is larger than the screen, you can pan the image to view it in its original size if you desire. There is no Zoom function which would be nice.

It's not perfect, but it has done a great job for my and my NX70V, and HandStory's customer support has been top-notch.

Just remember that the nice thing about all these type of products is that they all offer free trial periods so give 'em a try and then purchase the one that fits your needs.

It is also very handy to keep in the windows tray manger, so I can right click for all kinds of tools. It also has a small footprint and very stable on the desktop PC.

Thanks for all the information. I agree that you should try apps to see if you like them. But the reason I was asking about Handstory 2.3 is because they don't offer a trial of the Suite. They offer a dumbed down version that is free. I am not clear on the differences between the Suite and the Free version though... The only thing I want to do is custom web clips. Will the Free version do this?
