Palm V

It's been a long time since I had this "little toy" from Palm, and besides its high price, I never thought it was a mistake to buy it. For me it was a very usefull gadget, mainly at work. I recognize that when I bought this Palm it was a whim, but I gave it a lot of usage. The apllication that I used more was the Agenda. Every time I had a meeting I wrote it down in my Palm with an alarm and I never forgot anything. I used to use a paper agenda but I always forgot to see it, so It was'n usefull to me. From this time with the Palm alarms this didn't happen. Other apllications that came with the Palm and were very usefull to me, ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Palm V for about 4 months now and it just continues to be of more and more use I use mine for e-mail storage, diary appointments, addresses and contact info mainly. The main problem I have had in the past is that during the course of my work I recieve a huge volume of e-mail and requests for meetings etc. I was continually doubling up on meetings and forgetting to reply to e-mails. Now with my Palm V it is all stored in one handy place and because it is so small and light I can carry it with me everywhere. I no longerforget anything or miss appointments. It enables you to synchronise e-mail and calanders with your PC via the ...  Read the complete review

OK, so the Palm V isn't exactly the hottest new thing on the planet. I've had mine for about eighteen months, and it's still going strong. It's all there - address book, date book, to do list, notepad, calculator. If that isn't enough, hook it up to a PC and you can also download a variety of programs (and there's some good shareware out there) to do anything from play chess (there are plenty of games) to provide recipe ideas. You can send e-mail that you wrote earlier, as well as read the contents of your inbox. And of course, you can keep all the basic application data in step with Outlook (or just about whatever you use). ...  Read the complete review

Once upon a time a long time ago, I worked for 3Com, when they bought US Robotics who owned Palm who made a thing which kept names and addresses and a diary and you could write directly into it. SO I got one for free - A Palm Pilot to be precise. Then I got a Palm III then I got a PalmV, and that's what I've got today. I've been using a Palm device since 1997 when pulling it out on the plane (the Palm that is) caused your neighbours to shuffle uncomfortably in their seats, and squint sideways at what you were up to. Those days are long gone now and PDA's are taken for granted and the old Palm seems, against all the odds, to be staying ...  Read the complete review

I don't personally own a 3com Palm 5 organizer but I do have a lot of freinds that own these and I use these alot. With its little pen and touch screen these palm 5 organizers can be invaluable at times when they are needed, like when you need to write small memos, play games, play music or sounds. I've had great fun downloading music from the internet and playing it back in great sound on these little things, or downloading movie clips which can be played back at a later date. Also they can be useful to connect to the internet through infra red and your mobile phone. (good for information purposes or to win the pub quiz!) Although the ...  Read the complete review
