PDA Photo Data Input

[crotograph]

For a number of years, actually, since the advent of the PDA, I have been asking and wondering if there was some type of software available for inputting field exposure data. Just as I use a paper form or notes now, I would love to be able to use a palm device to input shutter speed, f stop, filter #'s and call up filter factors and other data, (hyperfocal computation etc) all from a handheld running the appropriate software. Am I just daydreaming or is there such an animal roaming the halls of the photographers wish list auditorium?

A quick check at freewarepalm.com brings up this one. It doesn't do everything you're looking for but you can't beat the price.

Of course, with digital you wouldn't need such software. But crotograph isn't interested in digital and that's fine. It's great that someone wrote the software. I have a Treo 600 and got ACDSee palm software so that I can carry a little portfolio of photos on my phone/PDA. It's very cool. I always have it with me and people like looking at them. There's a desktop application that allows you to choose photos and they get copied to the handheld every time you sync.
