Palm IIIe Announced

Posted by justin++ on from the 3-iii's dept.

Palm Computing introduced the Palm IIIe today. The new handheld ships with 2MB of storage, as well as a built-in TCP/IP stack. According to the press release, it's aimed at new users, like students. You know, it's funny - my little sister has been asking me for a Palm. Maybe this is what we've been waiting for. The SRP is US$229.

  1. Consider the portable video game market. by Cebert · · Score: 5

    We've had the Atari Lynx, with 4096 colors and hardware
    scaling, backlight, etc. Game Gear. TurboXpress.

    What's outlived them all? 4-color Gameboy.

    Only NOW, in 1999 have they updated it to near NES
    color and a little more CPU muscle.

    Perhaps the PDA market will mirror this...how long
    do those batteries last on your CE device? :)
