Networking to get the most out of your PDA
While a PDA can be an extremely valuable resource, it can be a bit intimidating sometimes. While there are a lot of great resources out there, one of the best resources is a PDA User's Group(PUG). A PUG is basically a club for PDA users to interact, learn, and share experiences. A PUG can be either an online experience or a local meeting in your area. Below are some resources to help find or even start your own PDA User's Group.
Palmtops / PDAs listing of PDA User Groups - Here you'll find a listing of PDA user groups worldwide. These listings contain both Palm and Pocket PC groups.
InterPUG - This is absolutely the best resource for Palm user groups. This site has been run by a group of volunteers since 1999 and has information on over 160 groups worldwide. If you want to start your own PUG, InterPUG will help you out by listing your new group.
PalmUserGroups - A simple, one-page listing of links for Palm user groups worldwide. A great resource to quickly find a PUG in your area.
Pocket PC User Groups listing at PocketPC Magazine - There aren't nearly as many Pocket PC user groups around as Palm, and the resources to find these groups are minimal. This listing at Pocket PC Magazine lists groups throughout the world, although it appears many links are dead. Still, it's a place to start your search for a Pocket PC group.
Zaurus User Group - Here's a Zaurus user group. This appears to be more of a portal than a group, but it's still a good site with a nice forum and information.
Tapwave User Group - This is a unique user group concentrating on the Palm based Tapwave Zodiac gaming system. Tapwave owners in the Sunnyvale, California area will want to check the site for meeting locations and times.
PDA User Groups at Yahoo! Groups - Yahoo Groups has been a mainstay for about any type of group that people would want. This link is based on a simple search for "PDA user group." You can also do a search based on your favorite OS or type of PDA.
PDA Meetup - Is there no PDA user group in your area? Why not start your own? PDA Meetup is basically a bulletin board where people in your area agree on a place to meet each month to form a club. Even if you're not wanting to start a group, be sure to check here to see if a group is gathering in your area. Okay, now you know where to look to find a group. If there's a group in your area, go to a meeting and find out what a great resource PUGs are. If there isn't a group near you, why not think about starting your own?
