Imagine sitting down at the breakfast, table of a morning with your eggs and a cup of coffee or a glass of juice. You reflect on the beautiful morning (perhaps also on the previous night's revelry) and you reach for the day's news. Sounds pretty normal so far. But imagine now that the day's news...

Pros nice idea
Cons does not perform as advertised
Recommended it? No

The Zire 21, Tungsten C and Tungsten W are also good choices for those that need PDAs for various... Read full review »

Well, I can't review every Palm model out there since I can't afford to buy every model out there... but with the most exciting lineup of Palm PDAs I've seen in the past year in a half in the under $400 range and being a member of the Palm pays back program (which got me this model and a Zire 21...
