I bet one way to be more productive with technology is to use things that you’re familiar with. In my office environment I use things like Microsoft Windows and the latest Microsoft office products and my desktop and my laptop, its nice to be able to take on to my smart phone as well so I can get things done while I’m on the go.
This is the latest Treo Pro Smart Phone from Palm, it’s using the Microsoft Windows professional version 6.1 and the nice thing about this is that it has all my favorite office applications as well. So I can get access to all my information anytime I want and with the one touch key board shortcuts on the Palm, I can access that information instantly. So for example with Microsoft Outlook mobile, with the one touch key I’ve got the calendar and the email, I can instantly have access to all my contacts, my tasks and all my appointments and meetings. And the nice thing about the Microsoft Outlook Mobile is that its using Microsoft direct push technology so I get those emails instantly and it also has HTML email support so I can view those emails the way they were meant to be.
I also work a lot with Word and Excel documents and it’s nice to be able to not only view them but edit them as well which is a feature that a lot of smart phones have. I can simply go into this Excel document, go to the cells that I want to change here, because it has the full keyboard and the touch screen stylus, I can make those changes quickly and then send back that document which saves me a lot of time. I don’t have to go back to my laptop or my desktop to do it.
If I want to search the internet, I can actually do one touch search right from the Today screen on the Palm phone here and it’s using Internet Explorer Mobile 6 and the nice thing about this is that you can also view flash web pages as well. I can also enjoy my favorite music and videos, its got the latest mobile version of Windows media player built in, you can see I can access it right on the screen. And of course it is a phone, if you want to make phone calls, sometimes its complicated in a lot of smart phones, you have to scroll through all sorts of different menus to get access, well with this, on the today screen all I do is simply start typing in the name of the person that I want to get a hold of and its right there. I can make it one click and make the call.
One last feature while I’m on the go, the nice thing is it gives me voice mail and text message alerts right on the screen. I don’t have to turn the phone on to check that out. That is the latest Treo Pro Smart Phone from Palm, if you want more information check out www.palm.com.
