There's finally a use for it...
Nology has a Palm Dyno tool that reads ODBII data into your Palm

whoa how INCREDIBLY cool! finally i can put my (few) palm pilot(s) to use!! but the thing is the software is $350!!!!!!....

actually considering 80% of the progz i have are downloaded and cracked, thatz not the problem...the problem is-- i need the OBD II compliant cable...where could i get this??! im sure its not sold for $350!!!!! if i can get this-- im str8... (our carz are OBD II??)

Yeah really!

My 2 year old ghetto HP Jornada is a zillion times better than the newest Palm Tungsten.

I'm getting a FM transmitter for it and using it for an MP3 player on my stock stereo.

My next Pocket PC will have the built-in phone and wireless internet.:D

Just remember, POCKET PCs can emulate Palm OS. So if someone can find a warez version of this, all of us PDA users can use it.

err but the pocket pc's physical connectors are different...making it kinda silly =P

I have a Dell Axim 400Mhz right now, it has a 128MB SD card for mp3s and stuff, plus a wireless access card for the LAN(it's actually the Clie Gear one...but I got it really cheap...free after rebate hehe), and I also have an IR wireless keyboard setup for it...neeeeaat =P

I also have the Kyocera Smartphone Palm PDA...It's sort of beat up by now(dropped it a couple of days ago by accident doh!) but whatever...it's a Palm AND a Cell phone! Which means I get wireless dialup anywhere I have cell access...mmmm geek factor =P
