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 »

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 »

It has been 3 years that I resisted temptation to get a new PDA, mainly because my Sony Clie PEG-NX60 did such a great job with my daily routine that it simply wasn't necessary for another incremental improvement for a significant expense. Well, things change, and while I would not consider... Read full review »

My teenage daughter has been bugging me for months now to get her a laptop or PDA so she could use it for her school work. I guess I waited a bit too long to get her one before school got out since she has less than two weeks to go before summer vacation. I decided that the laptop was going to be... Read full review »
