Palm 3x

I love my 3x. Ihave had it for almost 2 years now and without it I do not think I would be getting my degree (if I pass). It has kept me brilliantly organised and the freeware on the net is generally preety good. One recommendation I'd make is to upgrade the DateBK to Pimlico softwares' DateBK 4C... if not to save the Gorillas in the rainforest than 'cos its gonna be one of the best investment's you'll make. The charm of the 3X is its ease of use... you don't have to be a computer whizz or know very much to begin using it... you have got to be able to write and read though. Its reasonably priced... and does the job... so ...  Read the complete review

I upgraded from a PalmPilot Profesional last year, to the Palm IIIx. The advantages have been huge. The first thing you notice is that the screen is very sharp, much sharper than that of the old Pilot series and the old Palm III. The reason I chose a Palm over any other PDA was the enormous amount of software available for it. Websites such as www.palmgear.com offer software from simple text editors to multimedia applications. The Palm IIIx supports 16 shades of gray, so can display photos and movie clips sharp and clearly. A big advantage over many other Palm products is that the Palm IIIx has Flash RAM. This Flash RAM can be used to store more ...  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago, PDA's such as the palm III were only available to those with a lot of spare cash or who had more money than sense. However, in recent times, the image of the PDA belonging in the hands of the high paid businessman has vanished. The Palm III has become one of my most dependent utilities alongside the mobile phone, which helps me greatly to organise my life, as well as providing myself with a handy entertainment tool when im out. The Palm organiser comes complete with a handy set of built in applications, such as phone book, scheduler, note pad and task list, which are fantastic tools for organising your life. ...  Read the complete review

Yes, it's very handy and it's a good gadget but really it is just a gadget. It doesn't organise your life, sorry but if your unorganised your unorganised and this is not going to organise you, you will still miss your bus, forget to water your neighbours plants etc. Ok it has some nice to have features, beeping to remind you of meetings x number of minutes in advance giving you time to get there, being able to download extra applications off of the internet, yes you can turn it into a mirror, an underground map and an alarm clock. It's also revived those old time favourite games, packman and battle ship (infra-red is particularly good) but ...  Read the complete review

When my old sharp "organiser" died with a knackered dot matrix screen a year and a bit ago I decided to replace it with one of those nice handwriting recognition organisers that id seen around. A quick flick through the argos catalogue showed a couple at the £80 mark but alittle more research showed that these didnt take your handwriting at all, you just used the supplied stylus to tap the letter keys displayed on the screen. More research revealed the palm pilot range but also showed the jump in cost - i decided not to bother. Would you believe the very next day i spotted a collegue with one, 10 minutes later i was sold. The graffiti hand writing recognition ...  Read the complete review
