Summary

Strength

Price, features, decent battery life, speed, 32MB of memory, PIM improvements, Documents to Go 6.0

Weakness

limited MP3 capabilities, no universal connector, minor issues.

Bottom Line

This handheld should be on your short list is you want features and good expandibility without breaking your budget. No universal connector on the E does hurt it a bit.

Summary

If I were a poet, I would write a sonnet about my Tungsten E. I can't live without it. I bought it 2 1/2 years ago because it was cheap, about $199 at the time, before the Tungsten E2 came out. The longer I have it, the more uses I find for it! I...

Strength

Price, versatility, clear color screen, SD expansion slot, audio function.

Weakness

No wireless or bluetooth. Limited battery life with audio use.

Summary

In June 2001 I acquired my very first handheld: the Handspring Visor Edge (see my review of it at ht
tp://www.epinions.com/content_

and I realized that PDAs are indeed for me. As soon as it became affordable...

Strength

Fast, 32MB memory, high resolution display, software (included & 3rd party), light

Weakness

No recharging indicator, flimsy "protective" cover and no included case (and they’re not cheap!)

Bottom Line

The cheapest of Palm's color-enabled line, this model is a solid handheld that offers everything one requires and none of the extra frills.

Summary

I have been using a PDA since about 1998: first a Windows CE and then a Pocket PC machine. This is my first Palm. The Palm arrived in tacky looking blister pack packaging, with a minimal set of documentation, a standard USB cable, a wall charger with a...

Strength

Small, stable, excellent screen, large memory, well made, cheap.

Weakness

Lack of expansion options. Useless cover.

Bottom Line

While this doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more sophisticated machines, it performs most of the uses most PDA users want and it performs them superbly.
