I hope you've all seen the new Palm Pilot VII Wireless commercial by now: a lady and a gent on passing trains exchange information with the the most recent definition of Point & Click technology...and it's wireless! Just think of the possibilities!
Already, I have visions of seeing that "special someone" going by with a Palm Pilot VII and me, on the proverbial ball, beaming my way into their permanent records via my hand held wonder. A message like "Hi there Techno Love, saw you out today and here's my number plus a list of my favorite EZines...and did I mention I write for them??"
This recent wonder of technology has so many great features it's difficult to know where to begin. Utilizing the new term "web clipping", this portable dream machine can check your email without using a phone line and can quickly ferret out and "clip" exactly what you want from thousands of sites on the Internet. The Dell website explains "the hardware, software, and wireless communication service are integrated for fast activation right out of the box." Could it be any easier?? I don't think so!
The Palm Pilot VII also offers the handy feature called the HotSync Cradle which allows the user to dock the unit at their PC and download or upload any files they please from their CPU or the Web. It's really amazing! Imagine being stuck in a line waiting for a table at your favorite restaurant: just whip out this veritable "Tricorder" and ZAP! check your email, read the news, find out how low your favorite internet stock has dropped...you might decide to eat budget if the news isn't promising!
Or say you're running late to the airport and praying that your flight is delayed...PRESTO! Just whip out the Palm Pilot VII to quick-check the updated flight schedule. Even easier than using your trusty cell phone...no annoying "Please hold..."
I know, I know, you are thinking I must be making this up, that perhaps I dreamed of these capabilities and this entire review is a figment of my vast imagination. Well, happy to burst your bubble! You, too, can own this electronic marvel. It delivers the easiest button access I've ever seen and the manufacturer's suggested retail price is a mere $499.00. You are that close to owning one soon!
With just the four icon buttons on the front of this unit, the proud owner can check their personal & business time schedules, access phone and email information, find out what's next on their To Do list, enter memos and notes, and each separate screen has even more on-screen functions: bring up a dial pad, search the files, or travel instantly to your favorite website via on-screen icon. Punching buttons has never been such fun.
What?? You're still reading?? Get up, get out, and go get the Palm Pilot VII right now! If you need a little demo first, just travel over to Dell's Homepage at http://www.palmpilot.com/products/palmvii/index.html
for a virtual tour of this amazing product.
GO!!
