IIIc

Pros: Industrial design still among the best

Cons: Serial interface too slow, unable to connect a modem and keyboard simultaneously

The Bottom Line: Newer models may be slicker or faster, but none are better.

Review: Okay, I'm a Palm-junkie, a nerd, a geek. I used to belong to a Macintosh user group, and back in 1996 when the first Pilots made the scene, I was one of the few who resisted the little gadget. I was able to justify not buying on until 1998 when I found...

Pros: Keeps all my information organize, and a lot smaller than a hefty daytimer

Cons: You have to use a third software to synchronize with Outlook

Review: My Palm Pilot is one of the few items that is always in my purse. It has saved me a few times believe it or not. I would certainly hate to think what I would do without it.

It's amazing what only 960k of memory will hold in this thing. I have...

Pros: Extremely satisfying display. COmpatible with your Windows or Mac desktop machine. Rechargeable batteries. 8mb (lots) of memory. Runs countless downloadable applications.

Cons: Not wireless connected. No case included.

Review: You can get this excellent device for $170 less than you may have previously thought. And with that kind of discount, it is well worth the price.

Pros: Great looking color!

Cons: The speaker isn’t loud enough!

The Bottom Line: Color is the way to go, now with lower prices why not go for color.

Review: The Palm IIIc has an 8-bit active-matrix 265-color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display with 160 x 160 pixels. The colors are crisp and clear, it has a white background with black text that makes it very easy to read. When the power is off the display is...

Pros: This little gadget will keep you organized beyond your wildest dreams.

Cons: No handy pockets for stamp storage. But you'll get over it.

The Bottom Line: The era of the Daytimer is over. Purchase one of these and you'll never look back, I can assure you.

Review: In retrospect, the arguments seem silly. The little green pages for taking meeting notes. My full color maps. The handy pockets for frequent flyer cards, plane tickets, and stamps. The stylish leather-bound portability. Now that I’m officially a...

Pros: wireless is very cool, use the equipment you already have

Cons: carrying cable, Palm and phone can get bulky, expensive if you don't watch airtime closely

Review: You don't have to buy a Palm VII to go wireless.

You don't have to subscribe to OmniSky or buy a Minstrel Wireless modem to go wireless.

If you have a simple Palm III and a digital cellphone, you may be so very close to being on the...

Pros: Functional, cheap, easy to use, and perfectly intuitive

Cons: None of the superduper perks found in higher models, like color, 24/7 email, etc

Review: So I'm probably one of the most disorganized people I know, but when I actually sit and take the time to clean my room (about once a year), you could lick the floor. Until I got my Palm III, I swore by my dinky little $15 Casio PDA, with 92K memory, a...

Pros: Very reliable, durable and perfect in size.

Cons: The amount I paid back then when I bought it and the screen could be brighter.

Review: For people always on the go, the Palm Pilot is the perfect planner system to use. Its because its perfect in size and you have the ability to even carry it in your pocket or even in your purse. What that means if you are in a hurry and on your way to a...

Pros: Portable Organization!

Cons: Not in color (yet)

Review: I've owned (and carried) my Palm III since they first came out (about 2.5 years ago) and I've loved it since day one! You can keep track of your daily (or weekly) to do list, store thousands of names and addresses, play games (my favorite), and use it...

Pros: Powerful, easy to use desktop software

Cons: Slight feature mismatch can cause confusion

Review: The current desktop software for syncing your Palm device on the macintosh was originally an apple-developed (Claris-branded) software product called Claris Organizer. After testing various PIM (Personal Information Managers) for the Mac platform, it...
