I had a Compaq PDA, a $350 one and purchased the CyberTuner Pocket version.   
The PDA had so many bugs, I finally just gave up trying to use it to tune 
pianos (or even as a date book).   The most prevalent problem was the screen not 
accepting stylus info correctly.   You'd point at one spot on the screen and 
it would register somewhere else.    I reformatted, I did soft restarts, hard 
restarts, you name it.   It would be fine for a week or two and then start 
again.   At one point, CyberTuner stopped working.   I noticed that the beeps and 
warning sounds were playing back real fast and high in pitch.   I tried using 
the record function and it worked fine.   Except when I played back an old 
recording that I had made some weeks prior.   It played back like Mickey Mouse.   
That's when I realized that it was reading A4 about 50cents flat, and that's 
why it wouldn't register on the screen.   If you set A4 to be 50cents flat on 
CyberTuner the wheel would blush.   I called Dean, and we reinstalled the 
software and he determined it wasn't CyberTuner's fault.   HP gave me a bunch of 
hoops to jump through, but they finally took the unit back and gave me a new 
one.   At that point, though, I was tired of the game.   It's still sitting on 
my desk in my studio, new and unused.   I don't know what I did with the 
software.   I tried selling it back then, but got no offers.   Now, I'm not sure if 
it's even retrievable.    

It was the first step in my becoming an aural tuner, a decision I've never 
regretted.   I also have a Palm PDA, another good decision.   No problems with 
it going on two years now.
