I found this link.  Might be useful.  I've heard of people using something called Frames, dunno if it's available for Windows-based PDAs or just for Palms.

Frames is available on both Palm and windows pocket PC based PDAs from here

I've been using Frames for Palm for some time, and have found it to be very useful.

I use Frames on an iPaq 2495.  Works well.  Keeps track of your stats.  History of how you played specific pairs, balls you used, etc.  I like it.

The nicest thing I've seen about the Frames program is the messageboard. The guys behind the system are always open to suggestions of how to improve future versions.

Quick search shows a Tungsten E2 on Amazon.com for $165, with Frames on top would then be $200 dollars, seems like a decent price... Less than I paid anyway.

If you check out the link I've posted above, you should be able to find the hardware/OS requirements for both the PocketPC and PalmOS versions.

Hey, my website is on that page!  But it's web only, no PDA version.

Isn't Frames what Walter Ray used?
