Allied Telesis Expansion module

Advantages: Cheap and easy to use
Disadvantages: No colour screen

...various short cut icons at the sides. The On/Off button is on the bottom left hand side at the front, and (6) other control buttons run along the bottom also. These are used for shortcuts and for scrolling text etc. The batteries (2 x AAA) are housed in the back at the bottom of the PDA. It’s best to use rechargeable batteries as normal ones don’t last very long. I use NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride), these can last a week or more. It has got a battery indicator to show when the batteries are getting low. You must change the batteries within 60 seconds or you will loose the data. This is more than enough time. An expansion slot at the back (similar to a Gameboy slot) is used for memory chips or a number of other gadgets; I will talk about that in the “Technical Stuff” section. =TECHNICAL STUFF= The Expansion slot is pretty cool, apart from...

Advantages: REALLY EXPANDS YOUR VIEW.
Disadvantages: : 512MB NOT LARGE.

Disadvantages: Costly, Paint known to occassionally peel off casing

...to get used to - Speaker quality leaves much to be desired - Less inbuilt memory (generally 8mb except for m100 and Visor-2mb) I opted for Palm OS for the stability and software that Pocket PC currently lacks.
