Palm PDA Reviews

"Stylish with a great selection of colors Great protection Well crafted with a near perfect fit Storage area for credit cards and SD cards...Belt clip button covers T|X reset button Can't charge / sync with cradle...The speaker openings are protected by a nifty metal screen, allowing the sounds from the speaker to be heard without any distortion...Overall, I am very pleased with this case...This area of the case is completely covered by the strap..." read more »

"and, in the Zire 21's case, a PDA that's simply a PDA...As a consequence, the Zire 21 has three key things in its favour: it's small and light, being able to fit into a shirt pocket with ease...The Zire 21 has no potential for expansion either, but it boasts a much more generous 8MB of memory and a 126MHz chip...There's no way to synchronise email with Outlook unless you buy extra software, and also note that the Zire 21 is connected via a USB cable rather than a docking cradle..." read more »

"Palm's sleek and affordable Tungsten E2 is a great PDA for the casual business user...With a street price of around $200 (MSRP $249), the E2 offers good power and some great features, and it is small enough to slip into a pocket and barely be noticed...Measuring 4-1/2X3-1/10 inches and just over 1/2-inch thick, the E2 PDA weighs in at 4.7 ounces, or about the same size as its Palm Tungsten E predecessor...Palm powers the E2 by a 200MHz Intel processor, the E2 comes with 32MB of memory (26MB actual storage capacity) that can be expanded with either an SD card or a MultiMediaCard..." read more »

"Because of its price tag, the Palm IIIe is the perfect entry-level digital assistant -- but don't let the small price worry you...Also available is the Palm IIIe special edition, which features a cool looking translucent case -- perfect for college kids or anyone obsessed with style...If you plan on using your Palm with your Mac, you'll need to invest a few dollars in the MacPac, which has the needed adapters for the HotSync cradle to hook into your ADB equipped Macintosh..." read more »

"I would highly recommend considering the IIIxe if you are in the market for a Palm organizer...You might have done some research and know a little about what you're getting into, (which I highly recommend) but it still seems like a $300 replacement for a Rolexdex plus desktop calendar (which is exactly what it is...I got the Palm IIIxe because it has everything essential, yet is cheap enough that if I found I never used it I wouldn't feel bad about the money I wasted..." read more »

"Register to receive the latest Reviews and News Headlines directly to your Inbox every day, and enter our regular competitions...The LifeDrive looks really good in pictures and lives up to that image when you actually pick it up in your hands...This means that you won?t be able to slip in into your pocket but will have to reside in a jacket pocket or a bag, but then that?s true of most PDAs..." read more »

"Past that, products are all over the map: Do you prefer to input data with a downsized keyboard, or scribble with a stylus...Because we couldn't fit every PDA into this guide, we decided to sample three apiece in the pen and keyboard camps: We matched 3Com's new flagship Palm VII against a budget-priced rival, Royal's daVinci, and a color Palm-size PC, Philips's Nino 500...The Palm VII is the first Palm organizer that's bigger and heavier than the one before it, although that seems disappointing only because the Palm V is supersvelte at four ounces...Fourth, only superhuman self-denial will keep you to the $9.99-a-month (a scanty 150 screens of data) Palm.net service plan, and it's all too easy to overrun the $24.99 (about 450 screens) subscription..." read more »

"With its recently reduced price, the Palm VIIx is the least expensive wireless PDA option?not to mention the simplest to use...At just 6.7 ounces, the Palm VIIx weighs less than competing PDA-plus-modem combos...Charge the unit's internal radio for about an hour, but after that, turn the Palm VIIx on by simply flipping up its side-mounted antenna...Unlike other devices purchased through service providers, the Palm VIIx does not come preinstalled with a rich selection of applications...We had the advantage of using the Palm VIIx on the 8-Kbps Cingular Interactive network (formerly Bell South Wireless Data..." read more »

"16MB of RAM Rechargeable Li-ion battery USB docking connection Fast Lookup feature aids contact search Good price....Unless you really need 16MB of internal memory, there are few advantages over a Visor Platinum or Deluxe....Google has bought the mobile display advertising firm AdMob, the companies announced on Monday...A good choice of Palm OS handheld for power users on a budget...In Part 1 of this series I looked at some..." read more »

"A PDA can be a costly investment, so it's a good idea to protect your handheld in every way possible...This PDA accessory is inexpensive, adding only $15 to the cost of the Z22...The 3.4-ounce Z22 is small enough to find into a pocket, but if you drop it into a pocket with keys and other items jangling around, you'll end up with a scratched screen...Which is good, because it takes some work to tug this PDA accessory off your PDA..." read more »
