Casio CASSIOPEIA IT-2000D Instrukcja Użytkownika Pobierz pdf

NetWare Connection June 2000

uring the 3 1/2 weeks that I tested

nine handheld computers, I always

had the same answer to friends and family

members who asked “How’s work going?”

I’d respond by rambling on about how

cool handhelds are. “They’re James Bond

material,” I’d inevitably add.

I was almost distressed to learn that I

wasn’t the first person to think so. Some-

one at MGM Studios thought so too:

The Hewlett-Packard (HP) Jornada

430se Palm-Size PC makes a guest ap-

pearance in the recent Bond movie, “The

World Is Not Enough.” In this movie, an

American nuclear physicist, aptly named

Christmas Jones, carries a Jornada 430se

on her hip and later uses the handheld

computer to diffuse a nuclear bomb while

she careens down a shaft.

Of course, the movie’s depiction of the

capabilities of this or any other handheld

is exaggerated. In their defense, however,

handhelds aren’t designed for diffusing

bombs. They’re designed for the mundane

task of organizing your sometimes chaotic

life. All of the handhelds are good at this

job, but none of them is good at every-

thing. Let me tell you plainly which fea-

tures I think are worth talking about and

which features you should think about.

SHARP WIZARD OZ-750: WHO WOULD

WANT IT?

The Sharp Wizard OZ-750 is ideal for

anyone who is primarily concerned with

ease of use and who has no need for an

e-mail application or Internet access.

Something To Talk About

The Wizard OZ-750, which is based

on a Sharp OS, runs a handful of appli-

cations that you can expect to find on

any handheld: an address book, a calen-

dar, a to-do list, a memo pad, and a cal-

culator. The Wizard OZ-750 also has an

expense application that is as useful and

easy to use as the expense application on

Palm OS products. In addition, the Wiz-

ard OZ-750 has hundreds of applications

that you can download from the CD-

ROM that comes with the product or from

the Internet (http://www.MyWizard.com).

I downloaded a loan calculator and

found the process quick and easy.

In addition to having the best back-

light of any of the products I tested with

gray-scale displays, the Wizard OZ-750

was the easiest product to set up and use.

I whipped through the Quick Start sheet

that came with the Wizard OZ-750 and

started working through the manual (be-

cause that’s the kind of user I am). How-

ever, I soon realized that reading the man-

ual was unnecessary. I could easily find and

use all of this product’s capabilities with

some stress-free exploring on my own.

Something To Think About

The Wizard OZ-750 offers only one

choice for data entry—the keyboard,

which is very small and useful only for

one-finger typing. More important, the

Wizard OZ-750 does not have an e-mail

application and synchronizes only with its

proprietary desktop software, the Day-

Timer Organizer (DTO) SHARP Edition.

This desktop software enables you to im-

port the address book from other desktop

personal information management (PIM)

software such as Microsoft Outlook. In

fact, I imported my Contacts list from

Outlook 98 within seconds.

If you want true synchronization with

any desktop PIM other than the DTO,

however, you must purchase a third-

party application such as RuppLynx 6.0

from RuppLynx (http://www.rupplynx.

com). RuppLynx 6.0 enables you to

synchronize the Wizard OZ-750 address

book, calendar, and to-do list with other

desktop PIMs, including Outlook (97,

98, 2000), Lotus Organizer (97, 97GS,

5.0 and 6.0), and Goldmine 4.0.

PALM V: WHO WOULD WANT IT?

The Palm V is perfect for anyone

whose primary consideration is the size

and weight of a handheld computer.

Something To Talk About

You won’t find a handheld computer

that is smaller and lighter than the Palm

V. Weighing in at a mere 4 ounces with

a depth of only .4 inches, the Palm V

fits comfortably in any pocket—pants or

shirt pockets, in the front or back.

Something To Think About

You better think about why the Palm

V is so small. For one thing, the Palm V

is small because, unlike other Palm OS

products, it doesn’t use an ordinary alka-

line AA or AAA battery that you can

pick up at a convenience store. In fact,

you cannot replace the Palm V lithium-

ion battery. You have to recharge the

battery, and you can only recharge the

battery by placing it in its synchroniza-

tion cradle and plugging the cradle into

the wall. If you’re nearing the end of a

charge cycle (which, at up to one

month, is admittedly a long cycle) and
