Dec. 24th, 2003 06:06 pmI've just started to use my Palm Tungsten|T for contacts & calendering etc. It is shite (especially when compared to my good old trusty Psion 3 MX)
Palm use dd/mm/yy for displaying dates. two digits for the year for fucks sake? What the smeg were the designers / programmers / QA / management etc thinking?? And it only copes to 31-dec-2031. And moving things twixt Outlook on the desktop & the PDA sent some birthdays to 31-dec-2031 and I have had to move them back to the correct year (all abirthdays from 1970, in fact). Let's not talk about the fact that Palms own desktop PIM can't accept dates before 01-01-1970. cretins.
If the latest Palms are still this shite for date handling and interoperability of calendering events, I won't be buying a Palm next. I may defect and use a PocketPC based thing, as on this experience, Palm are a bigger bunch of time wasters & wankers than MS!
If Only Psion hadn't buggered up & got out of the hand held market. I wonder how the Symbian devices (EPOC) are doing...
