RE: How many people are doing spreadsheets on a handheld?
As a registered user of TinySheet 3 and QuickSheet, I prefer TinySheet. It's formatting abilities make it identical to Excel (Quicksheets formating abilities are very limited).
One think I would like to see to see Iambic release is an Office application (word, database, etc...). Does anyone know if they are coming out with one in the near future.

Of course, I also use it as a golf scorecard too. Hee hee. Yeah, it's kind of a novelty too.
Regarding the new version of TinySheet, I have no reason to switch from QuickSheet, but I'm curious how the new version of TinySheet compares. Please post if someone has used both.
RE: How many people are doing spreadsheets on a handheld?
I'm a Network Engineer and Docs-To-Go user and find that having copies of sheets on my Palm allows me to carry quite a bit of information to the field. While I can't speak directly about TinySheet, I can contribute a couple general comments about using spreadsheets on my handheld...
I keep records of IP addresses, net connections, equipment lists, etc., etc. This stuff changes constantly and its nice to have a current copy available when I sync. Having all this data available when I'm at a site is great.
I don't do a whole lot of editing, but when need be, its not too bad. Not as easy as the real thing on a PC, but it works.
I have made major strides to banish paper from my life... tools like these go far to make it so.
RE: How many people are doing spreadsheets on a handheld?
The use of spreadsheets on handhelds is one of the most important reasons for the encouragement of Palm, Handspring, and Sony to adopt the landscapable soft-graffiti screen that is available on the Handera 330c. Especially spreadsheets are much more easily viewed on such a screen.
Thanks, Robrecht
RE: How many people are doing spreadsheets on a handheld?
I was skeptical of using a speadsheet on a handheld, but I find I get a fair amount of use from it - sometimes a spreadsheet is just the best tool for the job.

There's nothing like going for a quick meeting at a coffee shop and having a live spreadsheet right there to go over proposals and scenarios with the boss...
The best thing, though, is being able to write and manipulate spreadsheets from the comfort of my couch, cuddling up to my wife rather than at my desk focused on a monitor.
RE: How many people are doing spreadsheets on a handheld?
And I've never used spreadsheets much anyway...
But....an almost fullblown spreadsheet that I can have in my pocket and is able to update at any time I want to....wonderfull to keep track of expenses....
Last month I bought, by impulse, a Palm Portable Keyboard and WordSmith..and actually it has become my primary wordprocessor...wonderfull for having some work dome during traintravel...
My primary reason for buying something like TinySheet would be to keep track of my expenses...due to the Excel integration I would be able to import the sheet into 1-2-3 for further analysis...
TinySheet 4 is on my to-buy list.
Hopefully BlueNomad will take advantage the the new API for integration purposes....that could be a rather nasty combination...
Live long and prosper...
RE: How many people are doing spreadsheets on a handheld?
If you use a spreadsheet on your desktop/laptop, then you will also find it useful on your Palm.
I use it to track expenses, frequent flyer miles, business info [such as login ID's], ...
Having HiRes is what really makes it much more useful - you can actually see more than a few cells.
RE: How many people are doing spreadsheets on a handheld?
I've since graduated, but I still use it often. There are limitations because of the small screen, but's definitely more than a novelty item
RE: How many people are doing spreadsheets on a handheld?
It was a bit slow then, but has all the basic functions unlike DoToGo :)
See how much we've progressed in five years... now you have to buy it as an optional extra.
argh. iambic, what are you doing?
thanks and with much love.

RE: argh. iambic, what are you doing?
How can Iambic let one of their flagship products (and a very good one too) fall so far behind the operating system? How many months is it now? All their dbase says is 'considered for a future release'
How many angry customers bought it for their m50x and find they can't use - STILL! - their os4 features? In business, the LED is invaluable when a beep just won't do.
Iambic, this is the first product I have bought from you. Please do not make people who bought this since the m50x series came out pay for the upgrade. I won't.
tinysheet v4
I can't understand the developer's attitude!!
RE: tinysheet v4
If you have specific details about any major or minor bugs, please post them so we can look into it more.
Thanks.
