best PDA you can get.......2005-09-08

I recieved this product today and I LOVE it!!! If you want to get organized or, like me, keep track of school assignments or addresses this PDA is perfect. If you want a basic,low-price PDA that can do anything an expensive model can, I would strongly recommend this product!

Excellent for basics!.......2003-03-19

If you are looking for a basic handheld organizer, the Palm IIIe is worth considering. I have been using my Palm for the past few years, and it has never given me a problem. I'll admit that I probably don't use it to its full capabilities, but for everyday usage it is fine.

The Palm IIIe is perfect for the basics: datebook, address book, lists and reminders. I also find it handy for reading e-books or playing strategy games. However, because the memory is not expandable, I'm not storing pictures, or huge databases, writing email or playing fast-action games.

What I like best about my IIIe is that it runs on 2 AAA batteries. This means that I can take my Palm on long trips without having to worry about charging it in the base, like most newer models require. (I also use rechargable batteries, which helps keep down costs.)

The plastic casing of the IIIe is light and durable. After three years of tossing it in my bag, it has no visible scratches. The same cannot be said for the metal casing on newer Palm models.

Unlike the Palm m100 series or Zire, the screen size on a IIIe is the same size as that of a Palm V. The other two models have screens that are considerably smaller, and in my opinion, quite cramped.

My only regret is that the Palm IIIe's cradle does not have a USB connection but a serial one. There are adapters on the market that will convert your serial plug into a USB one, though.

Comments: Palm IIIe, May 2002 (This note is time sensitive)

This Palm does essentially anything (within hardware limitations, i.e., 2MB RAM & no flash ROM) the more expensive Palms can do... and the PRICE IS RIGHT!

This is important because I carry my Palm everywhere... and that inludes places "in Harm's Way." Because of this, I'm destroying Palms at the rate of one every 2-4 months: It's inavoidable in my line of work.

Unfortunately, this can get REALLY expensive if you're using the latest Windows CE - based machine with pretty colors and the latest whiz-bang apps (usually games). I just need immediate access to my schedule, contacts, IR-capability and built-in apps. It's a woking machine.

So what I've done is buy a bunch of Palm devices (usually in lots of 5-10: a little cheaper than buying singly) at a time. These are almost always discontinued Palms, usually used or refurbished. This way not only do I get a little price break, but when I need a new one, it's already on-hand! I just load (synchronize) my info & apps to the new Palm and go to work. I need to synchronize with my desktop frequently (daily, or at least a few times weekly), so when the Palm gets trashed there is no data loss, or at worst it is trivial.

Over the last half-year, the cheapest readily available Palm has been the Palm IIIe, with LOTS more capability than I usually need. Lastly, because the screen is physically bigger than the current M100 series, it's easier to see in poor lighting conditions.

If you think about it this makes a lot of sense: It's my DATA that's valuable to me, not the vessel I hold it in. Come to think of it, this would mean that a cheaper device would be of greater value than a more expensive one: It's more easily replaced! If you haven't used this approach, give it a try! Whatever the case, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG with a Palm IIIe in mid-2002!

a good beginners product.......2002-02-11

the Palm IIIe is a good entry-level hand-held, with some nice features. However, contrary to most other reviews, I find that my Palm drains batteries extremely quickly, allowing for only a couple hours use. Despite this, I still love my palm, and it is far superior to pencil and paper.

great product.......2001-09-10

I got this free >1 year ago. very useful, handy device.
using it mainly for ebook these days. Wish it had a better
contrast screen and more memory to hold data.
