Greetings all

I've been asked to do a presentation on PDAs for my local Mac user group (http://www.imug.com.au) early next year.

Like many of you, there is nothing I hate more than death by PowerPoint (or in my case by Keynote).

So, I'd like to use some multimedia to brighen things up. What I'd like to find is some video of pocket PCs (and other PDAs for that matter) on TV and in movies.

I've done some Googling but have had no success.

As I'll be doing similar posts at other sites, it would make my life easier if all the responses could be collated by posting responses in this thread at my site

http://www.thepdaguy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=182

There's no need to register on my site to reply to that thread.

Thanks in advance

Don't Panic!

Unfortunately, it seems as though the whole ThePDAguy site is down. Hope it all works out for you, Anthony. :|

Yep = looks like it happened this afternoon. I found it at about 3.45 PM ZE-10.

No backups :-(

Picking up the pieces now...

Well,

If you are looking at movies and/or TV-series:
* The Bourne Supremacy: an ipaq is used to check fingerprints

* The sum of all fears: MSN is used for a contacting a russian counterpart.

* Spooks (also known as MI5 in the US) especially episode 03x01 (starting on 8 january 2005) and 03x03 have an XDA used to watch live video streams

Dell Axims have been spotted on the TV show Stargate Atlantis (used by the geek scientist).

Ocean's Twelve had an iPAQ, looks like a 3900 series.
Sorry, though, I'm not sure how you're going to get a clip of it since it just came out in theatres. But who knows, maybe someone has a promotional video or DVD or something?
