Palm TX hotsync and reset nightmares
Posted on December 20, 2007 in Palm. - No comments
Over the last few days my Palm TX has become increasingly bothersome. I’ve not had the “continuous” soft-resets experienced by others – in fact, until recently it’s been remarkably stable with the only application really giving me problems being Blazer (and even that was more to do with my decision to revert to the previous version of Graffiti.

Recently while sorting out boxes of old computer junk I came across my old Palm III and it’s cradle. It was like bumping into an old friend and I wondered if getting a Cradle for my TX would improve my “user experience”. On an impulse I placed an order on-line.

On thing I know I you shouldn’t buy for any Palm owning friends is the incredibly rubbish Palm Cradle. I’ve not changed my option since I reviewed it. It’s still a waste of landfill.
