The lightweight, stylish Palm m505 handheld offers 16-bit color support and is expandable and customizable. The Palm m505 has an expansion card slot for additional memory storage (up to 64 MB) and add-ons such as a dictionary/thesau rus, games, and more.

It has 8 MB of built-in memory, enough to store thousands of addresses, years of appointments, hundreds of to-do items, and more than 50 applications. The expansion card slot is a dual-purpose slot that can hold two types of cards: Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard (MMC). Both types of cards are small, inexpensive, and easy to plug in. Much like computer diskettes, they hold information for upload or download onto a handheld. With them, you can instantly add software programs, e-books, large databases, graphics, or even video files to your handheld without sacrificing memory space. The advanced LCD display delivers more than 65,000 colors for your viewing pleasure-- perfect for games, photos, spreadsheets, and even video clips.
