I am quite a disorganised person, and so a while ago, I decided to buy one of these little gadgets. The model that I bought was the Special Edition IIIe. The special edition bit means that instead of the boring grey casing, it came in a transparent case that looks pretty good.
The Palm Pilot has loads of features on it already, including an address book, date book, and a memo pad. Although writing on such a device as this takes a bit of time to get used to, after a while you find that the technique starts to come naturally.
This model has 2mb of memory, and I have found that this is plenty of space, with room for you to add on some of the thousands of programs you can download off of the Internet. To install these programs you have to use the software and HotSync cradle provided in the box, and the operation is quick and easy.
The cradle also enables you to ‘sync’ your Palm Pilot with your computer, creating a backup of what you have on there. You can also enter data on you PC, and the transfer this across, which can save a bit of time.

You can also get games that you can play on it, which can be useful for long train journeys and the like!
The only thing that i would say is a down point is the fact that if you use it regulaly, the two AAA bateries that it runs off of can run down a bit quickly.
Overall, I would say that if you are looking for a Personal Organiser then this is an ideal option. You can pick them up new for around £100, which when considering the range of tasks you can use it for is a very fair price.
Advantages: value for money, lots of features Disadvantages: disposable batteies required

The only drawback to the palm IIIe is the need for the disposable batteries which last around 2 months depending on use. However when you weigh this against the cost of an extra £150 for the rechargeable model this doesnt become such a consideration. ...

Advantages: Easy to use, easy to read, lots of functions plus downloads available Disadvantages: Flimsy, batteries run down really quickly, the colour is a bit naff
I bought this with a view to using it instead of a diary but it really doesn't make a very good substitute.
I opted for the light green version which looks cheap and nasty but it was the only colour in stock at the time. The first thing that struck me was the fact that the fold-over cover wouldn't last long - it didn't. The little stylus is a devil to get out of it's hole if you don't have nails, and easy to lose when you do manage to retrieve it.
... ...much the same as every other PDA. It is easy to use, the icons are clear to understand and there are drop down menus a la windows. There are lots of programmes available on the internet to download for it, but they tend to use up loads of memory. The 'hotsync' cradle idea is good and means that you can back it up easily. On the down side, you need to back it up regularly as it goes through batteries like there's no tomorrow. I still use a diary, ...

Advantages: Inexpensive and feature packed Disadvantages: Not upgradeable
The Palm IIIe is one of the budget range Palms, costing only a little over £100. It comes in a clear plastic case, and looks very nice! I bought it because I wanted to have a PDA, but could not afford to spend very much.
Considering the price, the IIIe has a lot of features. It may only have 2Mb of memory and a monochrome screen, and the OS may not be upgrdeable, but other than that it is a regular Palm. It has the same programs as its bigger brothers, ... ...recharged when you put the Palm in the HotSynch cradle. If you are a very heavy user, you may find you spend a lot of money on batteries, but my sets last about a month, and I use my Palm quite a bit.
I find 2Mb of memory is more than enough at the moment, and am very happy with my Palm. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a PDA. ...

The palm PDA's really come into their own when they are used in conjunction with the Microsoft Outlook Conduit to read your PC email offline, and reply offline.
The included Palm Desktop software included is adequate, but not substantial for use, but you can download thousands of other Freeware / Shareware / 3rd party apps.
Battery life is excellent, (About 3 months for a set of 2 AAA batteries!)

Reviews which might be of interest for "Palm IIIe"
Advantages: Great colour and comparative value for money. Rechargeable battery a big plus. Disadvantages: Slightly bulkier than average PDA's
The Palm IIIc handheld PDA is a great help for an experienced Palmer.
First off, if you must have color this is a must have for you because the color is crisp and clear.
If you would like a good audio, music, sound this is probably not for you because of the high peak of the volume, very low, would be too quiet to hear in a croud of people or any place where it is noisy.
If you are a first user I would suggest the Palm X, PalmIIIe they are cheap and work great!
I found the unit to have excellent contrast and display. Once you are used to colour - it is difficult to go back to monochromatic displays.
This is the color version of the Palm 3 and looks better and clearer for it. Memory is not upgradable and 8mb is not a huge amount. I have 3mb left and starting to worry. Bad mistake but I will cope ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Palm IIIc
Advantages: Fun, easy to use, compact Disadvantages: limited function, no longer manufactured
Use your PDA as a digital camera with the Kodak PalmPix - then HotSync the pictures to your PC.
Cost around £100 new, now are about £10 on ebay - which is just about what they are worth.
There are two 'flavours' available, one for the 'square based' Palm III, IIIc, IIIe, IIIx, IIIxe, VII, IBM Workpad and TRGPro series machines, the other for the 'round based' M100 M500 etc
The camera offers two screen resolutions; 640 x 480 and 320 x 240 pixels, bearing in mind this uses the same memory in your PDA, you probably don't want huge files anyway.
Download the supplied application onto your PDA, pop a couple of AAA batteries into the camera and you are ready to take pictures in seconds.
I work in IT and have to to send engineers to customers' sites.
The PalmPix ideal for snapping pictures of their billings, mugshots ...
Advantages: Cheap and with decent memory Disadvantages: Expansions are expensive and screen is black and white
I?ve been an owner of some form of hand-held computer for almost a year and a half now. I started with a PalmIIIe, which was a simple, 2Mb model with a monochrome screen. I used it almost constantly and quickly came to rely on it as a calendar, calculator, notepad, clock, entertainment tool, etc.
When the Palm developed a fault, I got it repaired under warranty. When it was stood on and smashed, I was devastated.
As soon as I could afford to, I replaced it. I wrestled with myself for a while as to what the replacement would be, then, foolishly, turned my back on the Palm platform and went for a Journada running Windows CE. I had the Journada only a short time before I lost it at a OpCom meet. The Journada was good in many ways, but also had it?s faults. I?ll probably review it soon, but I?m so happy with this Visor that I ...
