Consumer Reviews
Pros
Expansion Capabilities, Palm 4.0 OS, New Apps.
Cons
No Color, Not Compatible With Other Cradles or Handspring Attachments
Recommended it?
Yes
Think Palm Vx revitalized and ready to meet the future and you have the Palm m500. I?ve spent a week with the m500 obtained from retail sources in advance of the release scheduled for later in the month. Virtually everything contained in my m505 review applies to the m500 except for the screen...

Pros
silent alarms, expansion capability, USB or serial sync
Cons
inverted backlight, SD cards mostly vaporware, yet another hotsync connector
Recommended it?
No

That's where the Palm m130 comes in and saves the day (and my sanity)!

Pros
Delivers all the basics and some of the extras.
Cons
Screen seems a little more prone to scratches
Recommended it?
Yes
I've been an active advocate of Palm handhelds since the m100 came out several years ago. I liked the size and functionality of that model but soon found that the 2 MB memory was just too small for all the features the computer itself could handle. I spent a few bucks to upgrade the RAM to 8 MB,...
