Just wanted to say that I have gotten really good at using my 4355 Ipaq one handed while holding my coffee with the other in meetings etc..

Gotta love this gem. :mrgreen:

Anyone else multitasking?

In school I used to do an assignment with my right hand and use my PocketPC to write things down and play games with my left :D

How did you write things down with one hand? 8O

Well if you're doing an assignment with your right hand, and you're holding your Pocket PC in your left hand, I was wondering how on earth you do data input with no hands. :-)

I'm assuming it's via the use of a dexterous thumb, while the rest of the fingers support the Pocket PC. ;)

Nah...I was usually at my desk so my pocketpc was sitting on my desk :) I can write with both hands - made it really easy for multitasking (including gaming! w00tw00t)

i assigned hardware buttons from left to right:
start menu context menu PHM alt-f4 itasks

this configuration makes use of the stylus minimum. but i wish i had a jog dial too, which would make our lives easier with HPs :(

I agree about the jog dial.

Explain programming left to right?

I use my left thumb pretty well for short notes.

being a classical guitarist, I have one hell of a long thumbnail, which I always use in place of my stylus, works great for me

He was just listing the functions on the buttons, starting with the leftmost button. ;)

I constantly change around my Start Menu and Programs subfolder, so it makes it hard for me to link to any one-handed functions.

I always get the shortcut error when I push a button 8O
