Palm Flash - PalmPak Games Card

Advantages: extremely portable, 8MB storage capacity
Disadvantages: not a flash looker!, can't recharge

...Do you remember when mobile phones first started becoming popular? When the only people who could afford to buy these brick-like objects were businessmen with big cars to match their big phones. If you were anything like me your reaction to seeing these 'suits' on the street speaking into a mobile would have been 'Look at him, the show-off, aren't there enough phone boxes around?'. Obviously since that time things have changed dramatically. Now I have about 15 phone numbers for my family even though there's only 5 of us! Mobile phones are for the masses and no longer mark you out as someone with higher earnings or a flash job (certain very expensive mobile phones excluded). So, what has this to do with the Palm IIIxe? Well, in my opinion, Palms (and more likely, palm and mobile combi-products) will one day soon be as popular... Read review

Advantages: Huge memory, good processor, acts as a USB removeable drive
Disadvantages: Size, start-up response time

...Great leap forward from Palm. This has solved all the memory capacity problems I had with my old Palm Tungsten T. I now have everything I want in one place, no need for memory cards, although these can be used if you wish. Bulkier than my old Palm but just as easy to carry around. For PDA virgins: This unit combines your diary, address book, MP3 player, email, photo album and to-do lists with a calculator and an alarm clock! Sorry, it won't make your tea! Very easy to connect to your computer just follow the simple instructions on the installation CD. For PDA up-grades: You may find some programmes don't work, ie games - its just too fast, and Graffiti 2 is slightly different but I have found this fairly easy to adjust to. The Massive Memory: You've got 64Mb application memory plus 4Gb LifeDrive memory. Most programs... Read review

Advantages: easy to use, extra programmes can be downloaded,
Disadvantages: if it runs out of batery you risk losing all data if it is not backed up to computor

...I have been using the palm for over a year; when I first got it I couldn't be bothered to learn to use it properly and would still use a written diary. Now I would be lost without it. I have my work diary on there and my personal diary. My partner also has one and we can sync the palms together and with duel date we can see each others diaries. I keep work documents on there and have also got and attachable keyboard which I can use to make notes when I am at meetings and then just sync it to the computer when I get back. I have even downloaded photos to it. I find the palm invaluable and use it daily, for both work and personal use. On the Palm website there are plenty of extra programmes which can be added to the palm, some are free and others you have to pay for. I also have a memory card in mine which is particularly useful... Read review
