Campground Master for Hand-helds

Top  Previous  Next

Before you get too excited, there still isn't a version that will work on a Palm, "Windows CE" or "Windows Mobile" PDA.  The primary issue is that the memory required for the application is beyond what most of these devices support, and we're not able to justify the development of a special cut-down PDA version based on the few requests for it.

 

However there is good news -- new hand-held "UMPC" devices that run a full version of Windows XP and have plenty of memory to run Campground Master are now available.  We have verified that Campground Master will run on the new Sony VAIO UX computer, which is just slightly larger than a typical PDA (and it can be used in portrait-mode with a stylus, just like a Palm).  

 

This new Sony computer is a bit pricey, starting at over $1500, but other UMPC computers that will probably work fine are less expensive (but have not yet been tested).  These include the OQO O1+, the TabletKiosk v7110, and the Samsung Q1.  No doubt the prices of these will keep dropping as they become more common.  You can find out more about these at this web site (it's a great site for technology junkies, by the way):

Just one word of warning -- the screens on these are high-resolution and small, which means the text will be VERY tiny.  While it's possible to zoom in as needed (at least on the Sony), we certainly wouldn't recommend these for a extended use due to the strain on your eyes.
