palm has over 5,000 free programs on the internet and is the best hand held computer. It is fast light small and useable

My PalmPilot Personal has been working great everyday in the last 7.5 years. It only has minor scratches in the graffiti area. I use lower voltage NiMH rechargable batteries with it so I think it is going to last a while. And it is made by US Robotics, and I get some attention when I bring it out of my leather belt clip case and use it.

The 3Com PalmPilots manage a huge variety of business and personal tasks. Using a simple graphic interface incorporating handwriting recognition, the PalmPilot Professional comes ready to work with a calendar/datebook (with alarms and the ability to handle repeating tasks), address book, to-do list, notepad and calculator. Included software and a linking cradle allow you to swap information with a desktop computer.

The Palm platform is fertile ground for small software developers: fully featured, inexpensive applications for the Palm are available for virtually any need: financial and scientific calculators, database and small spreadsheet programs, document readers and, naturally, games.

In addition, a number of excellent commercial software packages offer Palm links to their Windows-based products, including the popular contact management program Act! and DeLorme's enormously useful map products. With the addition of a compatible GPS unit and cable, the Palm computer running downloaded DeLorme directions can guide you on a trip, giving advance notice of the next turn you'll need to make and displaying speed, elapsed mileage and other parameters.

Add-on devices include modems, an alphanumeric paging receiver, even a compass.

The Palm computers operate on two AAA batteries which, depending on your work habits and use of the backlit screen, will last for a month or so.

Much more than an executive 'toy', the PalmPilot computers offer excellent function in a small, well designed package. A gift that is sure to be appreciated by the businessperson or computer fanatic on your holiday shopping list.

The PalmPilot Professional will change your life. You will finally be able to rid yourself of the daily planners that you have grown to love over the years. From now on you'll have instant digital access to phone numbers, appointments, todo lists, and you'll even be able to check your email, or just play one of the thousands of games available on the internet for free download.

You can enter information three different ways: * with the stylus * typing on the on-screen keyboard * entering the info in the desktop software and hot-syncing

If you want to share your thoughts with others you can even buy the $100 upgrade card to bring infrared capabilities to your handheld! The possibilities are endless. You'll never regret the purchase. Take it from a user who's had one for over a year and a half!

The recipient of this gift will love you forever!

This PalmPilot is good at storing phone numbers in Alphabetical order. It has a sensitive touch screen and a bright Backlight. You can get a wide variety of programs and games off the internet. It is Made in the U.S.A!! This palmtop is very sturdy and small in size. The built in touch-screen calculator is very cool. The only complaint about this item is there is only one megabyte of memory. This is a great item!

I agree with most of the posts on the site -- this is the best-designed PDA for common tasks. My nits: it should be thinner and sturdier. For example, it will not survive a back pocket, it will look too geeky in a shirt pocket, and it's too thick too look good in an inside jacket pocket.

My other nit is it lacks built-in communications, but I the Palm III goes a long way toward solving that complaint.

I can do just about anything on my PalmPilot. I like it a lot better than the Franklin Day Planner. Not only that, it's portable so I can write as I go.

I have seen my boss use many different products to keep track of things. I have used some of them myself, but the Palm Pilot is the best thing since the invention of white bread. It holds addresses, names, appointments, reminders, lists, you name it and it is download/uploadable to your pc. What could be better? My boss is planning on getting them for each of us.

Key word - Portable. All the required functions of a day organizer in a compact easy to carry unit. Easy to use, lots of free software on the Net. I never leave home without it.

After a decade of lugging around a DayRunner, and joking about losing my life if it were misplaced, I replaced my old reliable friend with this new one. True, it cost 30 times the price of an annual refill, but it "hotsyncs" with my computer and as a traveller, it stows much more easily in my carry-on than the DayRunner. As much a toy as a tool, it is a powerful device that tracks things in two places: if lost, it can be replaced, and the information is always backed up on my notebook computer.

I'd recommend it to someone interested in harnessing the power and capabilites of the digital age.
