[pianotech] PDAs used for tuning

[pmc033 at earthlink.net]

Hi, Jim:
    I'm not exactly on the cutting edge of PDA evolution, but I use a Palm Treo.  I know it doesn't run Tunelab or RCT, but is it really obsolete?  I have never used a more bulletproof program as the Palm.  Yeah, it's slow as molasses compared to other OS's but it always works.  I'm not aware of it becoming obsolete or unsupported.  Is there something I don't know?  Curious..

No, the Tungstens all run Palm OS, a now-obsolete PDA operating system on which Tunelab will not run.  I do not know of any ETD programs that run on it.  I bought a $60 Dell Axim on eBay to run Tunelab.

Hi - please pardon a newbie (to this list, but 20 years in tuning....)  for a question that may have been answered before (maybe more than once!).

I have some familiarity with Tune-Lab;  I own a Palm Tungsten E PDA, but have never used anything other than my old standby Korg AT-12 tuner for the actual tuning.  I use the "Documents-to-go" spreadsheet in the PDA to record my tuning business time, distance, total and customer information.

Perhaps someone will enlighten me about possible uses of my PDA in the actual tuning process.   Thanks so much!
