palmOne LifeDrive Accessories

palmOne LifeDrive Accessories include, but are not limited to: palmOne LifeDrive parts, which you will find such as extension antennas and download cables or cradles; The palmOne LifeDrive Manual which comes packed with your PDA, but can be replaced or re-ordered if your upgrades make your original unit incomplete regarding documentation; palmOne LifeDrive Cases to secure your PDA from drops and spills when not in use. With a variety of styles and colors - find one to fit your style!

Finally we come to the palmOne LifeDrive software portion of our review, which is quite a broad topic. Your software will touch different areas of your PDA, including the palmOne LifeDrive smartphone. Turn your PDA into an entertainment center with palmOne LifeDrive games, palmOne LifeDrive ringtones - all available in the form of free palmOne LifeDrive downloads. Free palmOne LifeDrive ringtones can be purchased, downloaded, or manufactured your self by using music you already have on hand. The palmOne LifeDrive Cingular plan takes full advantage of your PDAs ability to access the palmOne LifeDrive WiFi capabilities.

You will notice that occasionally after a palmOne LifeDrive downloads take place and you fail to do a palmOne LifeDrive unlock on your PDA - it may seize up, like any electronic device normally does under duress. This may require a palmOne LifeDrive hard reset, which is essentially disconnecting the power source while the PDA is still "active". We suggest never doing a hard reset unless instructed by a palmOne LifeDrive PDA technician.
