Vindigo is fun, but just the tip of the iceberg. You'll be a PDA
software junkie in no time! Palm.com's software collection is huge--
some free/shareware, other for purchase. Like Lonely Planet, almost
every travel-oriented site has PDA/WAP-supported goodies to download--
Orbitz, Expedia, Frommers, Fodors, Michelin (http://www.viamichelin.com),
etc. Run a google search for destination-specific PDA-supported
guides. You can pre-load maps (I like mapquest, mappy.com for
Europe) and airline schedules (check oag.com for schedules for all
carriers servicing a particular route, your preferred airline to
download the timetables for the entire route system), a currency
converter (oanda.com), and of course, your itinerary, passport and
credit card data, insurance info, etc. With all that plus your own
synched calendar, address book, expense ledger and room to make trip
notes, you won't leave home without it! Have fun.
