Hi all; yesterday, after many years of good service, my Palm III device, which I preserved along the years with great care to run Bob Wheeler`s Vademecum (together with an old, barely running, Windows 98 PC, for the same purpose), kicked the bucket.
Probably an internal battery issue (which is not "user replaceable" in this model); but given that it is extremely used, (and the old computer is nearly dead too), I`m almost decided to leave them to requiescat in pace.
I have seen on the web some attempts of "translating" this old software to current devices (iPhone, Androids), without success. From time to time I have asked about it, with same results. Sadly, I know nothing about computers.
My question... Is there any modern (current) device running this software?
Looks like there are "smartphones" running Windows CE (e.g. Nokia 710); I wonder if Wheeler`s version for Windows CE will work on such devices, (or like with the Palm OS version, they are simply incompatible with the latest devices).
I`m also on the need of replacing my cellular phone, so I`d love get a new one with a -serious- photography calculator on mind (colourful silly apps are not what I`m looking for).
Well, opinions and sugerences are welcomed. Thanks. Hope someone have released something similar in the latest years.
I`d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Bob Wheeler, wherever he is.
