Title: I-Mate K-JAM Post by: Lawrence Sharp on February 10, 2006, 02:01:21 AM I realize this device runs WINCE, but the fact is, it's a PDA/Phone with Bluetooth, Wifi, quad-band GSM, WINCE 5.0 (yes I know it is now called Windows Mobile Edition, I just like the sound of the WinCE acronym, wince!) and has a full protrait QWERTY keyboard. Pretty damn slick if you ask me. We are most likely going to purchase one for my co-worker to use on the BellSouth/GT research project.
I will try to post observances about it.

The OS and GUI isn't as user friendly as PalmOS, in my opinion, but it is quite a powerful PDA especially if you're a Windows user. Right now there is no way to sync between a WM5 and Mac, but Mark/Space has an alpha out for registered users.

First .. check out POCKETMAC ( http://www.pocketmac.net/products/pmpro3/index.html ) .. Might solve your sync issues right off the bat. Second -- especially since these are hybrid PPC/Phones, check out HOWARDFORUMS ( http://www.howardforums.com/ ) as it is THE place to go to chat about "Smartphone" (and I use that term loosely) or any cell telecom issues. If it werent for the fact that my company has the Blackberry solution in place for wireless email, I surely would go to a PPC phone (My Audiovox 5600 was my most favorite phone to date). Keep us posted! Mike Title: Re: I-Mate K-JAM Post by: Eugene Liu on May 23, 2006, 02:16:40 PM Being a Rabid PPC user, and a Mac user, I have a few things to add.. Because Microsoft changed the way ActiveSync works for Windows Mobile 5, many older sync utilities do not work. PocketMac and Mark/Space are working to resolve this, according to their websites.First .. check out POCKETMAC ( http://www.pocketmac.net/products/pmpro3/index.html ) ..

If you are looking for something more such as opening/editing Office files, web browsing, etc., then the BlackBerry devices fall short. Eugene |
