How do you use your Palm device?

One reason we love Palm Addicts so much is because they always have inspiring threads going on. If you've ever been interested in how others use their Palm or Treo device, and if you ever wanted to share stories of your own daily use, jump to this forum thread for more. Best of all, by posting you can automatically participate in the contest to win a Tungsten X.

For a starter, read about the multiple ways Sammy uses his Palm Treo 650.

My Palm is mostly for when I travel, which is fairly frequently.
I use it to store contacts and keep track of dates.
I'm studying Chinese via ChinesePod.com so I download a bunch of podcasts onto an SD card when I'm travelling. I have a separate SD card with music (I have three SD cards of different sizes on the go right now, for different things--they all fit in the pockets in my leather case).
I like to read on the Palm, which I find much easier than I thought it would be. But I have only ever bought one e-book because the type of stuff I read is academic and a bit specialised. For 'fun' reading I get free books from Project Gutenberg and convert them to TR3 format.
Also I can convert documents of my own to PDF format (I have Acrobat 7) and put them on the Palm, which is useful when preparing for meetings on the fly, and I've just figured out how to make Chinese characters readable so there's something else I'll be doing a fair bit of.
I have a Stowaway Wireless IR keyboard which is wonderful for taking notes on the road.
Pretty basic, I know, but it works for me!
