Hipster PDA: Why?
fade | Aug 14 2006
What is the advantage of the hPDA? I've looked through a great deal of sites that concern themselves with the hipster or variants thereof. Most of them deal with the construction of the hipster, and the physical advantages it offers. So what's the advantage of the hipster otherwise? I understand what to use it for, I just don't see a huge advantage over the cheaper prebound option of a memo book. You know, those tiny little spiral notebooks that cost a few cents? They fit in a front pocket better, and are already ruled vertically. They have a hole punched already, so if need be, any tear-outs can be consolidated. They can't be re-organized, but if that's the only advantage the hPDA offers over the memo book, is it really worth it? You pay the price in the danger of losing all your cards when you remove the clip. One bump on the train, and it's 52 pick-up time. I'm not trying to nay-say the hPDA, I truly want to know. 13 Comments

Really for me it's just because I really like the Levenger 3x5 cards. I also like the international pocket briefcase they sell,which is a wallet + card holder. These are a lot less prone to getting dinged up in my bag than a little notebook, which I used to use. For others I think shuffleability, spread-out-ability and the ability to be printed on are key factors, but I don't actually make use of any of those myself. Just have great wuv for these particular office supplies. » POSTED IN:
