One Handed Work-Arounds - Share Yours Here!   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >
Reply | Forward < Prev Message  | 

New member here, but I've done my homework and searched previous posts.
Now I understand that the one-handed navigation issues I have on my Treo
are not unique, but that HS2 was never meant to be used without the
occasional screen tap. Good to know - I still love HS2 and am learning
how to get the most from it.

That said, I find it very inconvenient to continually stop in the
grocery store, open case, remove stylus, and tap the screen, replace
stylus, close case, lather, rinse, repeat. So I'd like to know what
work-arounds others have come up with for shopping without tapping.

Here's mine: I like to fill in aisle numbers on the fly, but can't
navigate one-handed to accomplish this. Instead, I place the aisle
number in the "notes" area, then edit in HS2Edit the next time I import
the list to my desktop.

Anyone else?

Maybe I've always trimmed my nails that way, because I often use my fingernail to navigate my Palm. : ) David Ricketts <David.Ricketts@...> wrote:...
