Pros
Expansion Capabilities, Palm 4.0 OS, New Apps.
Cons
No Color, Not Compatible With Other Cradles or Handspring Attachments

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...
