Soft Reset #12: Q & A
Soft Reset Show #12 features a Skype conference call with Tony, Mike, and a graduate class in Lexington, South Carolina. Educators in the class pose great questions for Tony and Mike to respond to. Also, find out who bought all of Palm's remaining Zire 72s. Be sure to listen for Mike to learn a new handheld term: silo.
Show Notes:
- Tony's Tip: Download software from PalmGear.com or PocketGear.com.. Click "Advanced Search" to search for freeware. Also, remind yourself about great software, write it in your teacher's manual so you'll remember to use it next year.
- Mike's Tip: Use Google to look for software by including "Palm" or "Windows Mobile" in your search, but be specific. Also, Mike explains what he does with software after he downloads it.
