Advantages: Solid Casing, storage capacity, bright screen

Disadvantages: Expensive device

This is a great piece of kit for several reasons.

The screen quality is excellent, it displays photos and applications very nicely. It is however extremely difficult to get DVDs and movies onto the device.

The software is PalmOS, this is an excellent piece of software which is extremely simple to use and impossible to go wrong with. It is far more stable that Windows Mobile but does offer less functionality and flexibility.

The casing is made of metal, it feels nice in the hand and difficult to break, plus it looks great. The only problem with the casing is the size is huge!

There is an internal microphone, this is great, it is always there if you need to take notes and there is a button on the side which instantly opens and runs the recording software.

The input of data into it is so easy to do via either the graffiti which is similar to handwriting recognition, or there is the on-screen keyboard.

Synchronization with your computer is easy, with the excellent piece of Palm Desktop software. The in built bluetooth and wifi means you can also sync wirelessly.

Internet browsing is pretty good, but does not have a flash player so rich content is not always available.

As there is a hard drive in the device, you will struggle to run out of space!

Summary: I like this device, but unfortunately I have stopped carrying it due to its size!
