Cons: Pricey, cannot re- charge the batteries

Yes, that is right. A single guy could overdose on the options that present themselves at the Mustang Ranch and you could do the same with the options that present themselves with the new Palm. So, your looking to upgrade your Palm to the new VIIx?...

Pros: Great for appointments and contacts, provides remote access to web and email.
Cons: Rather bulky, not always in range, hard to read, batteries die a lot.

The first Palm I owned used to drive me crazy because I had trouble reading information on the low-contrast screen. I really can't tell that the Palm VIIx is very much of an improvement in that department. If I hold it just right and put on my reading...

Pros: Almost Limitless Wireless Web Clipping
Cons: High Monthly Unlimited Usage Service Fee

While this makes an...

Pros: Wireless Access, Email , Conversation Piece
Cons: Service Pricy, No Color

Don’t expect anything revolutionary about the Palm VIIx. It’s just a simple upgraded version of the now-aging Palm VII. I’ve had a Palm VII for over a year, and was given the opportunity to road-test one of the new Palm VIIx’s.

Pros: Small, portable, pretty fast connections
Cons: A little heavy, modem sucks the batteries dry

I know a lot of...

Pros: Wireless e-mail and web clipping, ability to sync with PC, alarms for upcoming appointments.
Cons: Need to buy a separate Mac connection kit. Desktop Mac program is very weak.

Confession: I would never have bought myself a Palm VIIx. Didn't think I needed a wireless Palm. Got it as a gift. Now I don't know how I lived without it.

The main function I love is the ability to check my e-mail, both home and work, from...
