New Handheld: Palm TX

OK I finally took the plunge and purchased a new handheld, a Palm TX. Very, very nice. Got a 1 GB SD card and a Palm Keyboard too. I'm really enjoying the color, speed, and the large & bright screen.

Here's my setup:
MyBible from Laridian with
  • KJV
  • NKJV
  • AMP
  • HCSB
  • NIV
  • NASV
  • YLT
  • WEB
  • Easton's Bible Dictionary
  • Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
  • A.T.Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament
  • BibleReader with Rena Valera Spanish Bible
  • DateBk5 from Pimlico Software
  • MemoLeaf 4.5p from Redwood Creative Computing
  • Documents to Go 8 from DataViz
  • SmartList to Go 2.6 from DataViz
  • eReader Pro from Palm Digital Media
  • BigClock for alarms and countdowns
  • CountEm from Laridian
  • DailyReader from Laridian
  • Filez (manage files)
  • GradeKeeper by Daniel Ethier
  • Kinoma from Kinoma.com (plays M4A files from iTunes and Quicktime movies)
  • PocketTunes (MP3 player)
  • Right Back Up from Stand Alone (scheduled backups to SD card)
  • WiFile Pro from Hands High Software (connect to file servers wirelessly--haven't purchased yet but will)
  • Enterprise Security Upgrade from Palm (connect to wireless network at work)
  • AlwaysOn (www.persicke.de)
  • BDicty Dictionary/Spell Check
  • Missing Sync 5
I am using Blazer from Palm as my Web browser. It's ok but at the moment I don't seem to be able to get it to access the Internet from on campus through our wireless network (proxy problem). Hm, just tried Xiino 3.4.1E from Mobirus, that might work. Tried logging in from home, no luck. We'll see what happens on campus.

I don't think I'll be checking email from my PDA too often, but VersaMail and Eudora both work nicely.

I have purchased licenses for all of these (except for the free ones, of course).
