I had heard so many good things about Palm Pilots and from all that I had heard, they were "the thing" to have. I knew that they had e-mail capabilities and also acted as an organizer but what I didn't know is that you can actually download articles from files on your computer and read 'n edit them on your Palm Pilot!

I bought my Palm Pilot IIIxe a month ago and have not regretted the decision one little bit. Amazon had the Palm Pilot IIIxe on sale for $269.00 and in my opinion, it is worth every penny of that money and then some. There is a calendar on it that you can enter appointments and things that you don't want to forget and can also set alarms to go off and remind you of the event if you'd like.

What I really like most of all is that there are programs online that you can download for the Palm (many, many programs and some are totally free!) The programs that I like the best for it, are QED and QEX. I found these 2 programs online (can't remember the name of the site but it's easy to do a search and find programs for Palm Pilots). The QED and QEX programs are ones that let you transfer files between your palm pilot and your computer and will convert files for you. This means you can be writing an article on your computer and if you have to go somewhere (maybe having an appointment to go to that you'll have to sit and wait), you can convert the file to allow Palm Pilot to read it and then do a "hot sync" and it will put that file on your Palm Pilot.

When you have the file on your Palm Pilot (that you transferred from your computer), you can edit it right on your Palm Pilot and then when you get home, do another hot sync (which is very easy to do), and it will put the program back on your computer. Run the QEX or QED program (one is for reading files I believe and one is for converting them) but run the correct program and it will convert the file right back to the original computer file format that you were using and you have all of your work that you did on your Palm Pilot ... now, on your computer.

I would recommend that anyone who likes to be organized or hates waiting and has to have something to do - to get a Palm Pilot. It's worth it's weight in gold!

PalmOne IIIxe Personal Handheld Organizer

The Palm IIIxe handheld builds on earlier Palm III models by offering more memory and more options. Its 8 MB of RAM (four times the memory of the popular Palm IIIe) and 2 MB of flash ROM keep track of all your appointments, memos, to-do items, expense items, and e-mail, plus you can add thousands of third-party applications. Although the Palm IIIe and IIIx models have ample memory for many users, the Palm IIIxe better supports users who rely upon their organizer for data-heavy operations.The Palm IIIxe is more powerful than its predecessors, but it retains all of the Palm IIIx's and IIIe's convenience features. It measures a mere 4.7 by 3.2 by 0.7 inches and weighs 6 ounces. Backing up and exchanging information with desktop PCs and popular PIMs requires just a touch of a button on the included HotSync cradle. The infrared port allows you to instantly beam business card information, phone lists, data, and applications to other infrared- equipped devices. It also features a sharp backlit LCD screen, legible in both dim and bright light.The contents of the Palm IIIxe box include the Palm IIIxe handheld, a CD-ROM with an extensive assortment of Palm Desktop software applications, two AAA batteries, a DB-25 adapter, a HotSync cradle, a manual, and a Getting Started quick guide. You may further customize your Palm IIIxe organizer with third-party add-on peripherals such as modems or voice recorders. This device runs for approximately two months on just two AAA batteries and comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
