If your lists are simple (just rows and columns) Pocket PC based PDAs come with Pocket Excel.


They are. That sounds great!

There is no "Pocket Access", but here are some alternatives, again for the Pocket PC:

I don't have any experience with the progams listed in that article, except for the Palm OS version of HanDBase, which I once briefly tested. It seemed adequate for basic data entry forms and such.


Palm OS has this (and possibly others):

Palm OS stores data much like a database, so I'd imagine this product synchronizes your desktop Access database with a file in the internal Palm database.


Thanks! I'll check those links out too. :)

Bluetooth is a short range wireless technology. For a PDA its primary use would be to sync with a PC. For cell phones, it can be used for things like wireless headsets. I think it can also be used to allow a PDA (or laptop) to use a Bluetooth capable cell phone to access the Internet. It is also used for wireless keyboards and mice. You would need a bluetooth adapter for your PC (or built in) to talk to a Bluetooth device like a PDA or cell phone.


So I wouldn't need Bluetooth for what I want to do. That really helps my options.

Appreciate your input!
