I have always liked being the first kid on the block with a new toy and as an adult, nothing has changed. If it's a new digital camera with features never seen before then you can bet I am trying to sell my old one so I can buy the newest model....
Pros: slim, 33MHz, nice fairly large screen, can use existing Springboard modules Cons: bad IR placement, inverted backlight, yet another new connector, module for Springboards bulky
I've now had the opportunity to see and use all four new Palms - The m500, m505, Kyocera Smartphone, and the Visor Edge. None of them are the perfect Palm, or even worthy of an "Oh my god, this is cool!" exclamation (although the Smartphone comes close),...
Pros: versatile, thin and light Cons: backlight stopped working right away
Several factors recently came together that lead to my purchase of a PDA. Mainly -- I decided there were enough situations in my life where I needed info at my fingertips -- notepads, pens, and clipboards were no longer cutting it. I already had a ...
Pros: Thin, lightweight, metal case, USB interface. Cons: No flash memory (thus not upgradeable to Palm 4.0) and no wireless internet.
For those who have read my other PDA reviews you know that I have remained faithful to the Palm OS and my trusty Palm IIIxe in particular. First and foremost what I want in a PDA is an organizer/ scheduler that makes my life easier. I don’t necessarily...
Pros: Cheap. Reliable, Lots of memory Cons: Not as functional as CE, not color screen
At first, its hard to tell the Visor Deluxe from the Palm III series of handhelds. Because these little computers use the latest version of the Palm OS, they are alike in more ways than just looks. They are similarly easy to use and offer the same...
Pros: some nice programs in Visor OS Cons: $30 more than Palm M100. 2 Mb not enough memory, no serial cradle, CHEAPLY made
The Handspring Visor is now 1 year old. As we celebrate the 1 year anniversary, it is time to reassess the Visor. For those new to PDAs, the Visor is Handspring's first entry into the PDA world... a 2 MB handheld which costs $179 and runs Palm OS 3.1h....
Pros: Sleek design, springboard capability, rechargeable Lithium Ion battery Cons: Springboard requires bulky external attachment. Expensive PDA for what you get. Springboards can be pricey.
Get your tissues ready, because this is a story of a love come and gone. I was in the market for a new PDA: my old Palm III had konked out on me, and I had gotten used to the convenience of owning one. I wasn't too demanding on features, nor were...
Pros: Small, sturdy, inexpensive Cons: Palm OS 3.5, bulky expansion, not color
The Visor Edge, a good buy? Not many people would have said that a year ago when the price was $399.00! A lot has changed since then, and at $169 (with a free case from Handspring) it's now a good buy.
Pros: Thin form factor, expandable springboard slot, Palm OS, 33MHz processor Cons: IR placement, design hit or miss, bulky with Springboard modules, cost
The latest offering from Handspring seeks to capitalize on the thin aspect/form factor dominated currently by the Palm V and Palm Vx PDAs. Although I am more of a fan of the look of Palm's PDAs, Handspring own innovations with the springboard slot give...
Pros: Thin and light, sleek cover, LED features, proprietary springboard and rechargeable battery. Cons: No Flash ROM, springboard adapter adds bulk, slightly bulkier than the m500, cover, and stylus.
When I was looking to invest on a handheld for my dad as a Christmas present, I thought that giving him a thin and sleek handheld to perk his interest. Then I had many choices to buy a handheld by his criteria, such as the Sony Clie PEG-T415, Palm m500...
Pros: Tiny machine, cool industrial design, 8MB memory, "enhanced" OS features Cons: Stupid inversed backlight, annoying springboard system.
It's hard not to love the Visor Edge. Even outdated by the newer Palm 500 series, it turns more heads than any other PDA around. I'm a gadget-head, but even I know that I don't need color to make an appointment. Don't get me wrong -- it would be...
OK, first off, let me state that I did not buy this so that I could use a PDA. I am not the type who keeps activity calendars, to-do lists, or anything of that matter as a normal practice. The only reason I bought a PDA was because as a software...
Pros: Stylish and thin Cons: Same functionality as less costly Visors.
As some of you may know, I'm the happy owner of a Handspring Visor for about 5 months now. Although it sometimes crashes on me, I have never lost anything and it remains a helpful, though not crucial part of my working life.
Pros: Sleek, killer battery life, metal body, a solid PDA. Cons: Old now, only upgrades to 4.1, strange IR placement, e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e.
First off, this is a fairly old PDA. It's 16-grey B&W, 8 megs (you don't need much more for a B&W, but still...), and only upgrades to PalmOS 4.1 at max (I still use 3.5.2, which it came with. More programs :D ). On the flipside, it's a handspring, so ...
