Palm M130

...I started looking into the Palm pilots on the market. This of course after 2 years of thinking about it, thinking about whether I can justify the price and then thinking that palm pilots were only for snobs who wanted to show off on the train. I checked various websites including www.palm.com to see the range of devices they had. Then I came across a site called www.luzerntech.com. They’ve got a range of palms available including the M130. Now the ...
...learning the ways that the palm recognises letters (this is really simple and most of the letters are the way you would write normally) or you can use the electronic keyboard and just point away at the letters and nos. that you need to use to write your words and numbers. I think it is a good buy and at a Price of £82 including Shipping and Handling (it comes from Dublin) how can you go wrong. This is good if you want something simple and functional ...

Review of Palm M130

...to PDAs started with the Palm m100. My friend got it back when I was in school and everyone was drooling all over it – it was such a novelty. I set my sights on getting one as soon as I could. By the time I could afford one the best one to get in that price range was the Palm m130. Looking back on it now it was pretty bad, however for the time it was brilliant – partly due to the fact that it was one of the few models with a color screen. These days ...
...also quite funky. I think Palm was trying to position this as a teenager’s device since it has sleek curves and rubberised edges. The screen is quite small – about 2 inches across, and is only 160x160 pixels, however its enough space to use most programs comfortably and the colours are done quite nicely. The top side of the device houses an expansion slot and you won’t find the AAA battery slot on this unit, because unlike the earlier m100 models ...

Review of Palm M130

The Palm M130 has been in the stores for a while now, in the budget colour price bracket. With recent price reductions it can be moved to the budget bracket, costing as it does around the 150-200 pounds mark- but what do you get for your money? The M130 is a PDA (personal Digital Assistant) and is in essence a computer version of the trusty filo fax with features such as address book, a to do list, calculator, scheduler and note pad. In addition, ...
...really isnt any need to- Palm have got input off to a fine art with the Graffiti feature, basically speaking the display screen is also your writing page, and with a little practise in writing chracters in a certain way that the PDA understands , using the stylus provided (a 'pen' which is in fact a point bit of plastic you press onto the screen). Its not as hard as it sounds, or hard at all in fact, take it from me, i got my mother using it and ...

Review of Palm M130

It got to the point during the summer where i hadn't really spent ny of my summers earnings and they were now burning an enormous hole in my pocket! In all honesty i bought this to try to organise my life. In truth, i should have just bought a diary. I really haven't used this thing a lot for what i original intended it to be used for. I've spent more time downloading crappy shareware to Hotsync onto it than filling out the organiser or writing ...
...gadget man and love electronic toys and it was something i didn't have. I'm not disciplined enough to keep a diary so i thought if i had an electronic diary then i'd definitely keep one. I wish i'd saved my £180! The only thing is use it for is essentially the games. I can download bits of shareware and upload them onto it via its cradle. Its quick and easy to do. Its got loads of cool stuff besides games mind. You can do all sorts with digital ...

Review of Palm M130

Technicolour dream device The Palm m130, which is the same form factor as the m125 and slots neatly into the series above this device. What this latest model adds, though, is a colour screen - the first time Palm has offered colour on its lower end products, although the higher price immediately pushes it out of the budget category. Admittedly the colour screen does look good, and it makes the whole experience of using the device more pleasant. ...
...greater demands on battery life, Palm has swapped the triple A batteries found in the m125 in favour of a lithium-ion battery on the m130, which recharges whenever it is plugged into the docking cradle. The final new feature on the m130 is Palm OS 4.1. This new version of the operating system has been enhanced to offer better Bluetooth support, and allows you to dial direct from the phonebook via a single tap. The m130 is great for students and buiesness ...

Review of Palm M130

My first PDA was a Palm M105, which I got from my wife as a Xmas present. I didn't think I was going to use it very much, but I was about to be surprised. I started having a look around the net for programs and you wouldn't believe how much free stuff there is out there for PDAs. About a year later, the 8M of memory were becoming a bit crowded, so I decided to upgrade to an M130 for the colour screen, the rechargeable batteries and the SD expansion ...
...(not many) to connect via the SD slot, such as tiny cameras, blue tooth, etc. The software provided in the pack includes PhotoSuite mobile edition and Docs to go, so that you can use all your MSOffice files (Word,Excel,Power Point,etc.) on you Palm and PhotoSuite shown pictures and plays videoclips. ...

Review of Palm M130

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 ...
...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 for the photos. The only thing you do have to be careful is to make sure you hot sync the palm regularly so if you do happen to run out of battery you haven’t lost too ...

Review of Palm M130

Lightweight, affordable and genuinly useful. A great entry level PDA for a low price. replace your phone book, address book, diary with one light weight device (weighs about the same as a mobile phone) Battery ife is good with charging easy using the included cradle. Setup takes a minute or two and the device comes with many applications pre-installed. The software available (and a lot of it is free) is immense - just look through some popular shareware ...
...you get the hang of Grafitti (the data input method, which is simalir to handwriting on the screen) it really is easy to use. The only drawback is the plastic folding cover which protects the screen, it is alittle flimsy but cases are available. The full colour screen is an essential and the display really is quite good. The memory is upgradable by means of SD Cards. ...
