Garnet Vm has just issued its latest version and now that it supports the full screen it has raised the potential of the tablets enormously. You can use Datebook for your PIM, Ereader for ebooks, Bankbook for finances, it's incredible.
But for newbies I thought some of you might have had as much trouble as me in learning to hotsync to your desktop. Here's what you do.
1) no need to connect to your desktop computer directly, your connection will be across the internet.
2) right click your hotsync manager icon in the task bar of your desktop computer and click on setup. Then click on the network tab and then click on TCP/IP button. This will reveal your IP address.
3) on your tablet start up the garnet vm. Click on hotsync. Enter your Ip address, and click start hotsync. It should hotsync beautifully. The best way to put an ebook on your tablet for ereader to read it is by hotsyncing it over.
Cheers
