New Palm Hotel&Hostel, Jerusalem

Jerusalem, City of Hope

Advantages: Ancient and vibrant, a city that lives simultaneously in and beyond time
Disadvantages: Prone to acts of war and other forms of madness

be considered only by the strong willed, the stout hearted, and those trained to drive under conditions usually identified with racing formula one cars. Drivers in Jerusalem define aggressive driving. ►►Lodging◄◄ What's your budget? Go from there. In Jerusalem you can stay in anything from a 5-star hotel for which the sky's the limit to a modest and inexpensive hostel--or anything in between. I stayed on a B&B plan at the Palatin Hotel just off King George V Street and was entirely comfortable for an affordable rate. Moreover, the dearth of tourists in recent years has made for some incredible bargains for lodging. It truly is a matter of ?seek and ye shall find.? Keep in mind that wherever you lodge, members of staff at your hotel or hostel are likely to be your best source of information on local ...

Review of Jerusalem (Israel)

Palm TX

Advantages: everything! cheap reliable, fantastic features
Disadvantages: no spare stylus or screen protectors in box

I got my new Palm TX in August this year and I have been very impressed with its performance and flexibility. I previously owned a Palm Tungsten E which screen was 320 x 320 resolution and had no Bluetooth or Wi-fi, so these 2 features are great additions for me. For those who have never used a PDA they are all touch screen and most have handwriting recognition to save having a keyboard and in Palm handhelds this is called Graffiti and is very handy when writing as you can just write as you normally would.

Review of Palm TX

Palm Top of the pile

Advantages: Light, powerful, elegant, good battery life, lots of software available.
Disadvantages: Not a stand alone product

Once you have mastered Graffiti, which takes next to no time, then the Palm is an excellent tool to have at one's disposal. It has an advatage in terms of size over the Psion in that you can really put it in a shirt, jacket or trouser pocket. The software (Chapura Pocket Mirror) supplied, which allows you to connect the cradle to your computer and synchronise your Palm with Outlook is excellent, and is something I use a great deal, rather than using Palm Desktop as a syncing tool. Indeed for users of other software, it is possible to download from the web anything you require. The range of freeware and the easiness of installation via HotSync is outstanding. Whilst the IIIe is for everyone, the Vx is certainly more for the business man, which explains the IR link, allowing you to beam contacts, appointments and other things to other ...
