Palm IIIc Handheld

Pros: Color! Very clear screen. New OS version. Retains the slick feel of the Palm systems.
Cons: Expensive for a Palm system. A little heavy.

If you're in the market for a PDA, don't make a decision without taking a look at the Palm IIIc. This Palm makes leaps and bounds from the previous incarnations, and does it with style. Palm did what no one thought it could do - support color...

Pros: Portable, simple to use, excellent applications and superb PC connectivity
Cons: Mediocre screen resolution

Just about everyone has either owned or played with a Palm Pilot by now, it's by far the most popular electronic organiser on the planet. So rather than run through a list of its technical features, this review will
concentrate on my experiences of...

Pros: Small, Great With Batteries, Smart
Cons: Nope... not a one

OK, so I know it's aging at this point, and that everyone who prizes the newest BMW or Land Rover will say that you're just not <<au fait>> enough, but you really ought to grab a Palm III.

They're really cheap at this point,...

Pros: small, easy to use, good battery life, free software
Cons: no expansion slot

my palm iii was great at first. it had plenty of memory and i love the palm operating system which is completely intuitive and easy to use, just like the machine itself. but i think i was too hard on my palm because after carrying it around in my...

Pros: Color, Styling,
Cons: Price

Palm has been around a while now, and their name is well known, as well as trusted. Their old palm three's were quality devices, two of which I own(Palm III, Palm V). Yet when their new color model came out, I knew I had to get my hands on one. It is...

Pros: Cheap, easy to use, fun
Cons: Fragile, more Windows friendly than Mac friendly

First the basics, I've wanted a Palm Connected Organizer since the "PalmPilot" first came out, so in 1999, I could finally afford the 1998 model - the Palm III.

The Palm itself is a great little gadget, of course I'm someone who...

Pros: Tons of free and near free software available, easy on batteries, rugged, good capacity, synch with desktop or laptop, great memo pad.
Cons: Weak display, OS should be more like windows.

I received a PALM III for Father's Day 1999 and now would not be without it. I have it synched with my computer where I work and keep all my schedule and planning information on Microsoft Outlook. It is an excellent Organizer and seemingly has no limit...

Pros: Cost, features, easy to use.
Cons: None so far.

I recently bought my second handheld, the Palm IIIe. While it's the oldest and most basic model available it still does everything I want. You get some great versions of the common organizer tools; memopad, address book, to-do list, calender and...

Pros: TONS
Cons: NONE

Watch out Windows CE, Palm OS is cutting a new path through the color handheld market! The
development from Palm, Inc. everyone has been waiting for has arrived in style!

...

Pros: Incredibly Conveinient
Cons: Bigger than the Palm V

I love my Palm III...or at least I did.

I had a Palm III for over a year and used it constantly for all of my names & addresses and scheduling and Hotsync'd it with Microsoft Outlook on my desktop and laptop everyday. However, in late...

Pros: Ability to store tons of text for reference
Cons: Poor design, interface without flair, not quick to use

I bought my Palm III over a year ago, and I tried very hard to love it. By all rights I should - I don't think I ever met an electronic gadget I didn't love.
The Palm III, though, seems counter-intuitive, designed poorly and not extremely useful in...

Pros: size, fun factor, backlit display
Cons: adjusting to it

I love the Palm III. It is so cool. I feel like James Bond or something. It is so versitile and compact. It has a very nice backlit display for working after hour on a plane or in the car. One thing is that it does not have a sound feature so you...

Pros: Easy to Use
Cons: Screen problems

Stay away.... this early model of the PalmIII has problems with the screen. IT will fade to the point where the backlight will have to be on just so that things can be seen. Other than the screen problem. This functions very well. The hotsync is so...

Pros: Great basic features, no feature bloat like successive Palm products
Cons: It's a PDA

As I write this review the Palm product line has expanded considerably since the Palm III. This may make you think that the Palm III is obsolete. However, you would be wrong because almost all of the features that have come after the Palm III are...

Pros: easy to use, efficient
Cons: no colored display

The first thing I asked one of my friends last January as he showed his new Palm to me was: Do you really need something like this, or is it just a boy toy? We started to discuss it, and what should I say: He convinced me at last.
Today I don't...
