Hi,
I am David Jansen, a PhD student at the animal behavior group of Zurich University. At present I am looking into handheld devices for our data collection in the field. At present we are still using Psion observers 2. They are however getting really old and give more an d more problems, so replacement is needed. We would like to replace it by something simple, cheap and robust. PDA's seem the logical solution, but most of them are expensive, have lots of things you don't really need (e.g. wireless internet). In addition most of them have touchscreens, while we would like to have a keypad. We would use our device for both Adlib (event based data) and focals. I am wondering about any experiences people in the field have with these kind of devices. Please send any information to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll place a summary of the replies on the list later. Thanks in advance David Jansen
