Davy sent in these thoughts and pics from a recent vacation he took -
“I’m just back from my holidays in France and thought I’d share some of my Treo holiday experiences, and photos.
Having been a gadget fan and photography enthusiast for longer than I care to remember I have really enjoyed having my Treo 650 with me on holidays this year. It is the perfect Palm for me combining everything I need in one super compact and beautifully designed handset. I put the Treo through the usual paces for daily needs. ie: calendar, looking up numbers and making phone calls, referring to flight details in Agendus, emailing, texting etc.
But I also put it to some new uses (for me anyway) like, looking up Euro exchange rates on the XE website, checking the BBC website for news from home and I even had ‘Treo Alarm’ changed to Beziers (nearest main town) for local weather reports.
These new functions are all much more likely to happen when the comms are part of the handset, this is streets ahead of any Bluetooth mobile phone connection.
As I said I am into photography and dragged along a big photo-rucksack with my Nikon D70 (fantastic camera) and all the gear in it, no joke in the Mediterranean heat I can tell you! I did get some beautiful shots with the Nikon, but was surprised at how handy the Treo was for ‘quick on the draw’ snapshots, very useful for informal photos and for ones I wanted to email - I could not do anything with the shots from the Nikon until I got back home to my Mac. ‘Quick on the draw’ is also particularly apt when you use a Covertec holster for the Treo, I recommend one of these if you like to carry the Treo on your belt.
I posted an article here before the holidays when I bought my ‘Aquapac’ waterproof case or the Treo and I can confirm that this worked a treat, it dutifully kept many unfriendly substances from my Treo, including some windy days at the beach with pervasive sand blowing everywhere. If you’re going into any gadget-hostile places get one of these.
So all in all the Treo proved to be a really good all-rounder to take with me, definitely my favourite Palm device, so far!
So I’m back home now and processing my photos from the Nikon, but here are some of the quick ‘n’ fun shots from my Treo, hope you enjoy them.”
