Treo is my digital cornerstone

What a busy days I had, from the start of the weekend on Monday until today. I’m exhausted to the last strength of my legs, and often found myself sitting around the corner to relax for awhile. Because I’m helping to build my parent’s new house, I had to go back and forth to check on the project field every day; when I got back I still have to do my works too. At the end of the day, I didn’t have any spirits left to finish up even a single blog.

So this afternoon, when I finally have a break with a cup of my favorite coffee on my left hand, and my Treo on the right hand; I begin to contemplate on what I’ve done from Monday till now. Suddenly I realized that during those busy days, I’ve been using Treo all the time. How I never left it, always in my jeans pocket; and I always
recharged it whenever I got the change. And the best thing is, I’ve been utilizing my Treo in the works I’ve done without noticing it.

Like for an instance when I was at the project field, if the workers needed something for the house I took notes with my Treo. And I also took notes of things that needed my attention, like a cracked wall or re-paint walls, so I won’t forget about them tomorrow. When I was explaining things to the workers and they don’t quite understand what I was trying to say, I use PhatPad to draw it for them; and it’s fun to see when other workers tried to take a look how I did it on Treo.

I’ve never use Treo’s camera so much before, but it comes handy too. If some of the works are not done well enough or needed to be re-build; I took a lot of pictures with it. So later I could show them to my parents, and they’ll be completely understood to what I was describing.

When I’m back to work again, Treo helped me get through the rest of the day as usual. Such as using it to read RSS news, receive/send emails, making appointments & most important is playing games to release some stress load. All can be done either at the project field or at my work place, that’s mobile enough for me. And because Treo is also a mobile phone, which means I still get plenty of business calls; even though I’m hoping not to be disturbed while finally able to reached level 10 of Bejeweled 2!

And that’s what most important to me for having a Treo by my side, it can become my solitary place to go to whenever and wherever I need it. Sure, I admit that Treo smartphone is heavier than any other thinner competitors out there. But with the “heavy” Treo always in my jeans pocket, it keeps remind me that I have the foundation of my mobile digital life right next to me. Amen, brother & sister.
