It took me a very long time to find this product, but I'm so glad I did.

If you have a Palm Tungsten C or Palm Tungsten W PDA and you want to connect it to normal stereo headphones, your car stereo, or something else with a headphone jack, what you need is this ten-dollar adapter. Yeah, the price seems a little high, but when you have this, you can connect your favorite standard headphones to your PDA and use it to listen to MP3s or streaming radio via wi-fi.

Me, I'm gonna use it to listen to podcasts on my commute. (Through my car stereo -- not earphones. That's just dangerous.)

Current Mood: chipper

Well, somehow I managed to crack the screen on my PDA. Since it's my employer's PDA, it's getting fixed at their expense, but I'm buying an aluminum case made specifically for the Tungsten C at my own expense so that it won't happen again.

I've backed up all my data, including my latest hazmatspotting, methyl bromide and chloropicrin (#1581, a soil fumigant transported as liquid but used as gas). I've removed my SD card, stylus and cover, and shipped it off for repair. Now I just have to wait until they send it back.

I opted not to spend $40 for the advance replacement option, as that would have guaranteed my MAC address would change, and I'd prefer to keep the old one as it's in a few different whitelists already.

So now I just have to wait... and wait... and use a laptop or desktop to VNC into my work machine to consult Outlook whenever I need to know something. Sigh.
