What do do with my old PDAs

by gaycheckml - 5/26/10 12:52 PM

I am a total tech horder who loves to recycle and reuse all my tech until it is completely dead. I have one PDA, Tungsten T, that is just sitting on my desk since I moved to a Nokia N810.

If it had wifi hack, I would definitely have more stuff to do with the PDA. But since this isn't wifi capable I am stuck with it just taking up space hoping to find a hack that would put the Tungsten T back in action.

Thank all in advance for your advice.

I'm just a PalmOS and now Windows Mobile app writer. We got a solid 10 years of use from the PalmOS but its time has come. You can research how to use the T's bluetooth to gain content over the air but that's all of 10 meters max so not very useful. A netbook or iTouch/iPad would be best at that.

Look at Freecycle or gift it if its days of use are over. However I found it makes a nice digital picture frame.

Decided to use it as a universal remote.

...and likely more ecologically correct. My old Audiovox Maestro (rebadged Toshiba e570) found itself on the wrong end of a 7.62mm bullet. Some destructive tendencies from childhood never really disappear, but I prefer to refer to the episode as an experiment in supersonic deconstruction.

I haven't had the heart to do the same to either of my old HPs that I still have, though.
