No, I don't drink but one of the guys to convinced me to buy the iTouch had that silly little beer "iBeer" app on his. I said to him, "I hope you didn't pay for that"... he did.

I think I've found a work around for my memos. I exported them as a text file. I just downloaded the Window's version of Stanza Desktop. I hope to turn those memos into a book I can use on my iTouch and my Kindle. Quote:

(Don't tell anyone, particularly the Australian authorities, but I don't drink beer unless it's of the "ginger" variety ). Cheers, Marc |

A Kindle and an iTouch make a wonderful mix. Congrats!

A battery extender is a device that plugs into some other battery powered device to allow you to run the device or charge it.
http://www.gomadic.com/brand-apple-a...cessories.html It uses 4 AA batteries and costs $20. When you use the wifi, it drains the battery even more. |

I did some Googling and found a web page that instructed me on how to get all my addresses from my Palm on to the Touch with no typing on the Touch involved. It worked very well for free. The original instructions can be found here. I was using my Vista machine so the program was called "Windows Contacts". Quote:

Right now I'm trying a work around (which I would still have to do for MobileMe), I trying to get my Palm calendar into Outlook which will sync with the Touch. A Palm emulator from StyleTap is waiting in the wings that will work on the iPhone and iTouch. It will allow me to continue to use my favorite Palm apps. There are some hurdles to overcome to get Apple to approve the app. If I can get that software, I'll be golden. Thanks for the suggestion. |

I like using lithium AAs in mine actually, they're more expensive than alkalines but they last FOREVER...and the Touch is happy as a clam with this setup. And for more good news, they also sell a tip that will charge your Kindle using this battery pack! Last edited by mdibella; 08-24-2008 at 02:25 PM. |

I'll have to contact them before I order one and see if they say rechargeable batteries are allowed. If not, it's not going to work for me.

I finally got my Palm calendar uploaded to the Touch. What a mess and a pain in the rear. There were many software tools for older iPods but none that I could get to work with the Touch since it's not seen as an external drive in Explorer.
I had to upload my calendar to a site call AirSet. They had a desktop application that would pull the info from my Palm Calendar and then upload it to their website (all this was free). I was then able to export that calendar as a .ics file. That file would not import into the Outlook 2000 I already owned but never used. I downloaded the free 60 day trial of Outlook 2007 plus the updated hotsync conduit for it from Palm, which it turns out does not work with Outlook 2007 despite it's name. It only works with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002) per the failed sync log. I was, luckily, able to that AirSet .ics file to import into Outlook 2007. I then connected the Touch to my laptop, up pops iTunes. I then clicked on the info tab and set it to sync the calendar with Outlook. It worked. Of course there were many false starts but I'm happier now. And I must admit, Outlook has improved quite a bit since I last used it. I may not miss the Palm desktop software after all. I do still feel DateBk4 is a much better calendar than the one that comes from with the Touch. |
