How I plan to use my Treo this weekend: no more pen and paper and stacks of catalogues

[From Pancro] I don't know if you're in the States at the moment or in England so not sure if I should say good morning or good afternoon :-) I thought I'd drop you a line on how I plan to use my trusty Treo 680 this weekend

How I plan to use my Treo this weekend: no more pen and paper and stacks of catalogues

It's exciting times for me as I'm renovating and furnishing my house in South London. I'll be in Italy for the weekend to visit the Salone del Mobile in Milan, one of the world's most renowned events for furniture design.

Unlike other visits to similar fairs, this time I'm fully determined to go digital. I will use my treo's camera to take pictures of pieces and compositions I like, I will then attach notes that remind me of models and makers and I will immediately type business cards into my Treo's contacts. I will use the todo list for things I need to check when I go home, such as measurements I may have forgotten. I plan to solve the bulky catalogues problem by browsing them and taking pictures of what I like, again attaching notes and using Palm's categories to make them fully searchable, I'm a big fan of Palm OS' global find.

Once home, I'll download the pics to my PC and decide what seems to be the best combination! Notes and contacts will allow me to fire emails right away for price estimates, customisations, etc.

I'm quite excited to put my Treo to the test and see what it can do for me on this occasion. Although the camera is only 640x480, I've used it to take casual snapshots in other circumstances and it's fine for quick point-and-shoot things.
