Being a freshman in college, I was suddenly bombarded with all sorts of new information to memorize. I had to keep track of new phone numbers, passwords, assignments and meetings. How on Earth was I going to handle all of it? My day planner was to big...

Pros: Ease of use, price, capacity
Cons: Can't think of any

Being a sales guy that lives out of the car and has customer contact list in the 400-500 range, I really needed a way to have addresses & phone numbers at my fingertips. I have a laptop with ACT! on it to keep track of my contacts, but it's a pain to...

Well, I had an OUTSTANDING Christmas this year. My wife gave me my gift from under the tree, I tore off the wrapping paper, and lo and behold, there was a shiny new Palm IIIe. I was absolutely ecstatic. Finally I had a new toy to replace my aging Palm...

Cons: No Flash ROM in the Palm IIIe, 2 MB of RAM can be limiting at times

I recently purchased a Palm IIIe as part of a promotion between Handango.com and Redgorilla.com. Basically if you signup for Redgorilla.com and pay a one time fee of 99.95$, you get either a 125$ gift certificate or a free Palm IIIe (no add'l charge for...

Pros: Easy to use, compact, dynamic software, tons of peripheral devices.

The Palm llle was one of the first real PDA’s (personal data assistant) on the market. It was the best of both worlds. The Palm llle wasn’t as big and bulky as a laptop, yet it was a lot more functional than the electronic organizer. The Palm llle is...

Join the Revolution!
I’ve joined the Palm Computing Revolution and I love it! After only three weeks, (and you’ve heard this from other reviewers,) "I don’t know what I did without it." The Palm system is powerful, convenient,...

Pros: Cool Second Edition Case, cost, standard PalmOS
Cons: Not upgradable, only 2MD of memory

"Why can't I upgrade?!" That is what I hear at my office, when despite all my efforts a co-worker buys a Palm IIIe. If you want to purchase a Palm, and I strongly recommend that you do, do not buy a Palm IIIe. They IIIe was mainly...

Pros: price, functionality, ease of use, simplicity
Cons: a bit delicate

Yes, the Palm IIIe can do almost everything.
Let me start by saying that I've always been a fan of gadgets. But one of my personal
favorites has to be the Palm...

Pros: Reliable, very easy to use.
Cons: Not expandable.

Is the Palm IIIe the best PDA out there for $149.99? My epinion is no. Allow me to introduce you to the Handspring Visor. I researched these two products for a long time. Just before purchasing the Palm IIIe, I found the Visor. The Visor and Palm are...

Pros: Pay less and never step into a store; IIIE is inexpensive but on par with more expensive models
Cons: IIIE isn't expandable

This is all the palm anyone needs (if anyone needs one of these). Keep reading to find a good price on one...

The Palm IIIE is a very capable device: its screen and storage capacity are equivalent to that of the IIIX and V. The IIIX is...

Pros: Perfect for the job at a great price
Cons: Get more memory if you want to do more

If you are looking for a PDA to handle contacts, schedules and a variety of other tasks, there is nothing better than a Palm IIIe. It is small enough to take with you all the time, the batteries (2 AAA's) generally last 2 months. At a current street...

Pros: Worth the price, cool looking, VERY useful
Cons: Doesn't sync with Outlook unless you have 3rd party tools

So I'm sitting in my chair at the office debating on whether or not to get a laptop or a Palm Pilot...

I DID wind up buying the laptop (a shiny new iBook) but I got a catalog from PC Connection a few weeks later advertising a Palm IIIe Special...

Pros: Easy to Use, Great Features, Excellent Price
Cons: Can't Upgrade OS & RAM, Batteries Not Rechargeable

First things first... How easy is a Palm to use? I *wrote this review* on mine!

So, what do I like about the Palm IIIe? It's got everything I need in a PDA for less than $200! Sure, it's only got 2MB of RAM, but what does that hold?
