OnHand PC
 |
The OnHandPC has the power and memory of a Palm m100 in
the size of a wrist watch. Batteries last up to several months which is
pretty good compared to other devices like a Palm. The OnHand PC uses
2 lithium batteries which are actually really cheap. Replacement of these
batteries can be done without loosing any information. A handy joystick will
help you navigate applications. If you are a programmer, you can even
develop your own applications in C.
With a docking station or
IR connection, you can transfer data from your watch to your pc, or pc to your
watch (yes you can also transfer data from your OnHand to another OnHand through
Infra-Red).
The onHand PC provides all the popular features of palm-type pda
devices at a fraction of the size. With onHand PC you can view your to-do
list, add appointments to the calendar, look up an address, balance your
checkbook, or simply relax and play games.
Oh yes, you can also use it to tell time... imagine that!

How can data be entered on a OnHandPC? The easiest
way to enter data is by using your computer and transfer the data as explained
above. However, with the help of the tiny joystick located on the bottom
of your watch, you are also able to type short messages. An on-screen
keyboard (alpha-numeric, numeric, or by using word templates) is used to enter
information as you can see in the picture below.
Lower/Uppercase Entry |
Numeric Entry |
Word Template Entry |
To be honest, entering
data like phone numbers or a short note is absolutely no problem and goes really fast, but once
you decide to actually write a story, you might want to consider using your PC
and transfer the date to your watch. Many people prefer to use the
companion link software which allows you to synchronize with your favorite
organization software like Microsoft Outlook, Symantic ACT, Goldmine, Microsoft
Schedule+, Lotus Organizer and 3Com Palm Desktop. Several programs for
your PC are included on the CD to help you enter data more quickly.
