PDA Construction Management Software

[fsiej]

Construction is all about management of time, people, and projects. If you are not on top every project, your company could loose thousands each year. With Construction Manager you are able to do just that. CM manages contracts, proposals, deliverables and punch lists for you. It also has the ability to cut, copy & paste. You would not leave your blue prints or hardhat at the office, so purchase a copy of CM and make a difference in your team TODAY!

fsiej - you already posted this http://www.construction-resource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=472
at least it wasn't the exact same :)

[fsiej]

I know Rich, but I was in the process of changing the other one because it was a bit misconstrewed. I also didn't scroll down far enough the first time to see the software section, which is where my "ad" should go. I really wanted to just find out what the needs of the industry are so we can incorporate that into the software with my other posting.

[Rich]

It's no problem. I think the software could be very useful. I've been in contact with Tiphaine to get a copy for reviewing over at www.protoolreview.com (another site of mine that I just started up).
What Pocket PC do you recommend for your software? I was looking at the Dell Axim.

[fsiej]

So you know Rich, I am Tiphaine but the user name is my husbands. We use the same one when we are on your site - his name is Eric. I have and use the Dell Axim and I love it. I haven't used any others, but my partner loves his Hewlett Packard.

[Rich]

haha.. sorry about that. I'm pricing up an Axim right now. Not too bad $357 with a case and car charger. I was looking around for someone that had one - but they all have Palms.

[fsiej]

Ya know Rich....just let me know when you get that PDA and I will send it on over to you. You can help with the Beta program as well as the Affiliate program. As a Beta user you "test it for bugs" before we release it. It helps when we have others outside of our QA department because it's a fresh set of eyes and you'll see things that we don't. What do you think....interested?

[Rich]

I'd be very interested in that.

My wife won't let me buy the new one until I sell my Palm that I've got though. :( I guess that says who's wearing the pants..haha.
So if you know anyone who wants to buy a Palm M130 for $100 let me know...haha. I looked on Ebay and they are selling for $110+shipping. Barely used - just sat on my desk for a few months; need to wipe dust off it.

[Rich]

I was also going to mention that I put up a placeholder for the review..

with a link back to your site.

Well I got the wife to approve the funds for the Dell Axim x3i with integrated wireless. I'm thinking I may not need the wireless so I may downgrade and get a larger (256mb) storage card. I have to wait for a week or so until my google check gets here.. then I'll get it. :)

Rich I am buying a tablet PC and I am putting my axim on the market.

It's the x5 same one they still sell.

[Rich]

Right on.. email me with what you want for it. Or post it - doesn't matter.

[grumpydasmurf]

I'll take a dig pic tomorrow. It's in very good condition.

Axim x5. Warranty is expired but I have never had a problem with it.
I have the power cord and the carrying case.
I have all the original cd's with NO scratches.
I have the usb connection cable.
300 mhz
MS Pocket PC 2003

[Rich]

I think I'm going to buy the Axim X3i.
400mhz - 64mb strataflash, 64mb RAM, wi-fi (no bluetooth), travel cables, IR, usb cradle, rhinoskin carry case, extra battery... umm think that's it.
$422. Shock at first - but not bad after comparing to other similar HP products.

[grumpydasmurf]

Sorry I didn't take the pics... actually Id di but never had a chance to download them from camera then upload them to web. :(

It seems like your looking for functions mine doesn't have. The cradel can be purchased, but I have a usb cable. The bluetooth or wifi can be add on via expansion slot. Really an extra battery is not needed. I use my pda <u>every day</u> and only charge it on Sundays, and it's usually only half spent. I don't know what a rhino skin carrying case is but I have a very plush carrying case designed to absorb all shock if dropped.

If your still interested I'll search on ebay and see what similiar devices are going for. I'm not looking to make money just make back a few bucks I already spent.

[Rich]

The Rhinoskin is just what you described - aluminum shock absorber. I appreciate the offer but I think I got the wife to approve it so I figured I better get while the gettin is good. Never know when my next chance will be. :)

[grumpydasmurf]

Ok, NP. Ebay here I come. My tablet arrives in 5 days. I am also purchasing some mobile accessories. Expect some pics of my mobile office coming soon.

[Rich]

Cool.. Do you have a link to what tablet you bought?

[Rich]

Dell put the 400mhz Axim X3i on a 15% off sale today so I purchased it. Should be here by the 30th - probably sooner from experience with Dell.
