Stylin' Without Color

byRichBoston Apr 13, 2001

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... Read full review »

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

I got the chance to see the m500 recently when Palm came to the Boston PDA User Group. He didn't have the m505, but luckily a different Palm employee who came to the New England Palm User Group a few days later did. I already wrote a review of the m505 (see... Read full review »

Pros Great price, bright screen, lots of memory, camera, good battery life
Cons Unstable (requires frequent resets), slow contact searches, battery alert problems
Recommended it? Yes

Purchased my first *real* PDA less than two weeks ago; being almost 43 years of age, I decided that I needed some "digital mental assist" to compensate for tiring biological gray matter :-) and decided on the Viewsonic V36 for its bang (fast 300Mhz Xscale processor, decent color display, 96M total...

PDA - Great for Kids, Not so Great for Grown-ups

bybvckvs Aug 25, 2004
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Built-in Camera, instant-on power
Cons Slows down a connected PC to a crawl.
Recommended it? No

I made the plunge into shelling out a couple of hundred dollars for a feature-rich PDA and chose this ViewSonic device.

Features
I chose it over similar and similarly priced models primarily because it includes a little camera - built into it. Also, since I've come to rely on... Read full review »
