Ya see those covers? the flip cover that goes on a Palm 3? There's a company that makes a cover for a Palm3 with a record/playback built right into the cover! Press record...talk..it listens. One less thing to carry.

I don't remember who made it, but They had them retailed at OfficeMax.

I'd prefer a sports car - specifically an Audi TT. That's why I have a Palm V - I want something that is really really good at what it's built for - weither that be driving or PDA'ing.

The Palm V is the only PDA that can fit comforatbly in my jeans pockets day after day. With the hard case, the thing is nigh invulnerable and I can keep keys in the same pocket.

It's nice to know that mistakes like that can slip by on the product launch. LOL.

Perhaps your browser renders this page where the quoted text came from differently? Give it a try!

If you look close at the two pictures: color and b/w you'll see that the color screen is quite a bit smaller (or it certainly appears to be to me - either that or the color palm is much bigger overall). That's got to suck readability-wise. I know it's quite comfortable reading a long text on my Palm V, but anything smaller would make it a real eye strain. Anyone got one yet who can give a review?

They've got a cradle out already that connects to a USB port.

Or do you want the USB port on the Palm itself? I can think of reasons why the conventional serial port was a better choice when the Palms came out (USB wasn't really there yet at the time, plus you can't telnet in on a USB port, can you?). Plus, it would be instantly incompatible with all of the existing gear for palm.

FYI, there's also work going on on a cradle that hooks up to your network via Ethernet. Now THAT'S a fast sync!

If you want that transparent look, it'd be worth looking for the Special Edition of the Palm IIIe, which has a transparent case! same spec as the regular IIIe, and you can likely find a good deal on it now the V is getting widespread.

You can find a link to it on Palm Central here, or another link with a better picture here.

I wonder about the memory sizes... people are going on about the IIIx and the Vx as essential as they have 4M and 8M ram respectively, as opposed to the basic III and V which only have 2M... personally i have a IIIx, have put a ton of programs on there, use almost all its features, and have put 600K worth of books (about 5 books)on it with CSpotRun, and have still only used just over 1M on it! Has anyone actually filled up a IIIx or Vx with stuff?

When my beloved Casio ATC-1200 altimiter watch died, I stopped wearing a watch - then I got a Plam V. The Palm V is small enough to carry all the time (except when you're swimming - where's my waterproof depth measuring Palm?) and inside the Hard Case it is nearly indestructable. So, now when I want to know the time, I do check my Palm.

i've made between 200-300 purchases online this year and the only one that went awry was my purchase of Solaris 8 from Sun / Modusmedia.
