Today, I am going to review the Simpliciti, an organizational tool. This reasonably sized gadget is a perfect idea for families who are continually on the go. The PDA system does the following:
Holds up to 500 recipes
Has a to do list
Holds memory of important household scheduling Information
Shopping list
Holds memory for contacts
Has a calculator
Has a timer

The good:
The Simpliciti can be used for a whole family, rather than just an individual. It has a mini printer, to print off lists. If you don't like to carry around scraps of paper, you can purchase mini PDA cards that include a keyboard to carry around at an additional charge. You can download Simpliciti onto your computer. It runs on batteries, so no fear of losing important information, if the lights go out. It will train your children to be more organized, with time management skills. The timer is great for kids who tend to forget their schedules. People who have been diagnosed with add can use the timer to keep themselves focused on an activity, without going into hyper focus. It will minimize clutter. For example, when you have a new handout from your child's school, you can type it into the Simpliciti, instead of pinning the handout up on a bulletin board, or losing it under a pile of papers.
It will keep all of your household needs organized, including:
Things to do
Grocery lists, which you can add to when you run out of something
People to call
Bills to pay
Phone numbers easily accessible for the whole family
The families schedule, including soccer games, pta meetings, etc...
The bad:
Most of what the system offers you can get from a dell axim, or even a low end palm pilot. If you are disorganized, this will be hard for you to keep up, once the thrill of having a new gadget is gone. It is for families, not one person housholds.
The bottom line:
After reading reviews, and looking the gadget over on their website, I think this is a fantastic idea! If you are a family that is constantly running out the door, trying to keep track of all of your kid's daily activities, this is a brilliant idea. Because it is suited for a kitchen wall, not a brief case or purse, the whole family will know what is going on, on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
