This is a cool piece of kit, basically a 3Com IIIx, but with a translucent case like the iMac.
Other than that it is identical to the 3com IIIx, with the same cradle and palm desktop software.
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!)
All in all, you should buy one!
