It is so simple any one can do it. It is easily expandable to hold more data, or delete it. Best of all its compact size fits great in shirt pockets, hip pockets, purses and some wallets.

For this project you will need some 3 x 5 index cards and a binder clip or paper clip if you prefer.

There's print by English, doodle by Kindergarden, and heiroglyphics by Egypt. And that's just the most common ones.

7 seconds? I did it in 2! P.S. Are stickynotes cheating?
K'nexFanatiFreek in reply to Saturn VJul 12, 2011. 3:26 AM
hmmm... possibly, because they are in a chunk. and i think he is talking about component gathering time also. just a thought.

It will run a Safari just as quick as you can go. In this I would suggest a zip lock sandwich bag to put your PDA in. Sweaty paper can be hard to write on.
zachninme in reply to BuckskinJun 23, 2007. 8:31 PM
Bullet proof, inflammable, casing is good to prevent it from being destroyed from various apps. I love open source, but I'm not letting another burning fox, or a electrified eagle, destroy my PDA. Or the machete from Safari. Also, do not use AJAX on it. It just gets soggy and not much cleaner ;-)
Saturn V in reply to zachninmeAug 3, 2010. 4:33 PM
Thanks a lot. You almost made me the first person die laughing.
yummahcupekakez in reply to zachninmeAug 10, 2009. 1:57 PM

Finally someone with a little humor.
Saturn V says: Aug 3, 2010. 4:30 PM
Finally!!! A low-tech solution for everyday problems!!!!!
cranberys says: Mar 21, 2010. 2:20 PM
heres a way to make it cooler just add some drawn on aps like a calculater or a videowatcher and all that jass and on the front ad a page number to them so when you need an app you can just turn to the right page

If you laminate the cards you can re-format them when they get too packed with data.

Using erasers leaves a shadow

geekazoid says: Aug 15, 2009. 1:25 PM
Woah Sweet, I jailbroke mine - No more paying!
stevepuk says: Aug 13, 2009. 2:14 AM
I followed the instructions but I can't get it to turn on. Maybe it is still booting but the screen is just blank. Does it have an alarm function?
drweb says: Jul 20, 2008. 6:01 AM
1) You did not mention the system requirements. But i think k12 might fit. 2) Hint: With an apple on the front side it changes from PDA to "iPad".
munchman in reply to drwebNov 12, 2008. 9:43 PM
lol.

megziewoodles says: Jul 3, 2007. 12:04 AM
It comes with a couple of games too. Including a 2 player version of noughts and crosses.
Buckskin (author) in reply to megziewoodlesJul 3, 2007. 4:43 PM
You forgot tic-tac-toe and other challenging games. LOL
bruno13069 in reply to BuckskinOct 26, 2008. 6:26 PM
"Noughts and Crosses" is the British name for Tac-Tac-Toe. FYI ;)
orangewolf22 in reply to bruno13069Jun 30, 2009. 10:32 AM
why?
wakojako in reply to bruno13069Apr 1, 2009. 8:31 AM
I'm British and I say tic tac toe cos it sounds cooler
orangewolf22 says: Jun 29, 2009. 6:07 PM
hahaha! my friends at school can't get enough of these!
Buckskin (author) in reply to orangewolf22Jun 29, 2009. 7:28 PM
That's cool. I have used this since before PDA's where the rage.
orangewolf22 in reply to BuckskinJun 30, 2009. 9:08 AM
ummm... when were PDA's the rage? you mean like, the iPhone and stuff?
Buckskin (author) in reply to orangewolf22Jun 30, 2009. 10:16 AM
How about before electronic data devices?
orangewolf22 in reply to BuckskinJun 30, 2009. 10:30 AM

Would it help if I made a PDA case out of duct tape to go with it? That would be a bit more than 7 seconds though......
Buckskin (author) in reply to InvincibleCoryJun 29, 2009. 7:26 PM
So, you don't like simple? To bad!
orangewolf22 in reply to InvincibleCoryJun 29, 2009. 6:08 PM
