Title: Pocket George
Post by: Spruce on September 30, 2011, 09:34:42 pm: Both my son and myself use pocket George on our PDA's. They are setup in such a way that we can see each others work schedule and we have a combined debt list as we usually collect together. We have another cleaner joining us on Monday and I would like to get him a PDA as well. Please can someone remind me how to 'activate' his name so it appears on pocket George as well.
Thanks
Spruce

On the george website theres a pocket george configuration program to download, I think that gives you the options you want.

Post by: Dave. on October 01, 2011, 08:14:49 am: Ian, when you install the software on the pda you have the option of how many days work in advance you will sync with the pda.
What I like best is that the pda shows the date the next call is scheduled for, and I don't have to spend 1/2 hour updating george when I get in.

Picked up the pda and cradle for a fiver on ebay too.

Post by: Dave. on October 01, 2011, 08:39:48 am: Pocket george is free and you can adjust the number of days ahead on George,
It's probably just as cheap to buy a second hand pda on ebay with cable, cradle and software, as it will be to buy a new cable, you also need to download the pda sync software from palm, I think there are some problems if you've got 64 bit windows 7

Title: Re: Pocket George
Post by: Dave. on October 01, 2011, 05:59:13 pm: Some of the really early versions are not compatible, the newer and slimmer they are the more they cost,

Title: Re: Pocket George
Post by: Dave. on October 03, 2011, 08:14:21 pm: You've got the program onto your PDA - so it must be syncing ok.

Did you do two hot syncs before running the configuration utility from the george website?

Title: Re: Pocket George
Post by: Dave. on October 03, 2011, 10:43:31 pm: All I can sugest to do is to do a hard reset on your PDA and start again.

If that doesn't work - I'd email the George people

Title: Re: Pocket George
Post by: Dave. on October 04, 2011, 09:19:11 pm: Richard, it should work on your Palm as the operating system is above V3.5

(PocketGeorge only runs on pocket computers running PalmOS V3.5 or higher It will NOT run on a PocketPC or SmartPhone.)

This link should help with choosing PDAs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA))
