The "customs" value the site refers to is … "how much $$ is it worth"?

If you want insurance to cover against loss or damage, you have to go REGULAR PRIORITY INT'L or EXPRESS INT'L …

… First Class Parcel Int'l or Small Flat-Rate Priority at $12.95 offers NO insurance at all …

Your PDA device will have some sort of data access unless you requested for it to be blocked by Verizon. The options are as follows:

Unlimited data connect – $44.99
10 MB of data per month – $24.99
Pay-as-u-go data connect – $0.015 per KB of usage

Minutes and text/pix messaging use would be the same otherwise.

For me it has to do with the fact that I tend to have too many lists, calendars, notebooks, address books and general notes and/or papers to keep track of.

The PDA is way too expensive to lose track of and it keeps all my information in one place! I love the idea of setting alarms to remind me to do things during the day!

At the present time, technology allows us to do so much more than ever before and this will, of course, become more true as time goes on. There are also a lot of extra benefits of having a PDA such as the capabilities of listening to music, keeping photos, videos and much more. Also, depending on the model and how much you want to spend, you could have the capability of accessing the internet with your PDA.

And…let's not forget the choice of having a PDA phone?! Talk about efficient!

You may not know NOW exactly what a PDA can do for you but I'll bet you wouldn't regret getting one.

Having said that…if you are not into computers and/or electronics at all, you may want to stick with the paper idea.

any chance that you also backed up your Palm data to an SD card with such a program but forgot about it?

Otherwise, keep in mind that only password protected records will only get wiped out if you reset your password. I don't think there's anyway around that since the password mechanism was designed to wipe and protect data in the event the password couldn't be provided.

My father is a doctor and I have some expertise in this area (see my blog at http://mlearning.edublogs.org). You should look for a PDA that does not have a slideout keyboard, and a minimum number of hard-key buttons. Minimising moving parts like this reduces the number of crevices that can potentially become contaminated with infectious substances, if you're using the device in the course of your work, and also simplifies cleaning of the device.

I'd recommend a Windows Mobile device, since Palm is rumoured to be currently undergoing corporate transition and software for its OS may be discontinued if PalmOS is not supported in future. Also, most of the medical PDA software out there is supported by the Windows Mobile operating system.

With those considerations, I would normally have recommended a Dell Axim x51v . The Dell x50v and x51v PDAs have the best screen (480×640px gorgeousness!) and processor speed (624 MHz) I've yet experienced in a PDA. While they don't have a massive amount of internal memory, they accept both SD and CompactFlash cards, and that means you could for example, add a 4GB CF card for your medical applications and records, as well as a 4GB SD card for your music – that would be 8GB in total, plus the 128MB on-board storage – a massive amount of memory for a PDA. I believe there are even larger memory cards in both formats available, if you're willing to put up the dollars.

The only reason I might not fully endorse the x51v is that Dell won't be making any more PDAs after the x51v; however, it will continue to support its existing models.
