Palm IIIx Handheld

Pros: Better screen, More memory
Cons: Big,

This functions very well. The hotsync is so simple child could use it. Its as simple as pushing a simple button. This makes data transfer to your computer simple. Backing up is also very simple. The Desktop manager program that is used to store your...

Pros: Expanded memory, infrared, still light and portable
Cons: Batteries, memo pad space, etc.

The reality of the Palm Pilot series of products is that you can really get by with the cheapest of all models. Until quite recently, I used the original Palm Pilot, so old that it had a US Robotics logo on it. Yes, I was beginning to max out on my 500...

Pros: does things well that humans do badly
Cons: best to keep a couple of batteries at close hand

I'm useless with diaries and address books. I miss appointments, and accumulate phone numbers on post-its and backs of envelopes. I'm human. So, when I lost another stack of addresses, I bought a Palm. It works, because it delivers on its promises.

Pros: Twice the memory of Palm III, Improved LCD screen over Palm III, Palm OS devices common
Cons: Expensive, may be one-upped by Handspring Visor Deluxe

The 3Com Palm IIIx is one of the best PDAs on the market. It has twice the memory of the Palm IIIe, more expandability options are available, and the LCD screen is improved.

Having owned one of these devices, I am very pleased with it. The...

Pros: Holds everything, good price
Cons: Not internet-accessible, but so what

I was given money from my parents to purchase a PDA for Christmas. Therefore, I got to research which products I was interested in, and chose from there.

I wanted a PDA because I was tired of dragging around my huge leather day planner. I...

Pros: The best personal organizational tool ever
Cons: Costs more post its

As a techy computer programmer, I have tried lots of the different gadgets out there from voice recorders to franklin planners. For the last 3 years I have been a franklin person, constantly synching my computer driven scheduler, tasks, and notes with...

Pros: Disposable batteries, long-range infrared, compatable design
Cons: Are you kidding me? There are none. :-)

This has got to be the best Palm Pilot 3Com has put out to date.
To begin, 3Com & more 3rd party companies have made so many great things for this bad boy because of the simple fact that the design of the unit itself has been around for so long,...

Pros: syncronized, portable information, small package, good price
Cons: 4MB "just adequate", lesser end of what's available in palm computing

The Palm IIIx finally reached a value level for me in February 2000. The price was dropped to $150 and for that money I received what I considered to be mature palm computing features. The Palm IIIx adds value to my life through syncronization of my...

Pros: Twice as much memory as the Palm III
Cons: Not as much memory as the Palm VII

I just received this item for Christmas and I love it! Twice as much memory as the III but not the price of the VII. I love being able to upload and download from my PC to it...so far everything has gone without a hitch. And there are TONS of...

Pros: clear
Cons: nothing

Screen clarity is very good. Ability to adjust font size for differnet applications. Hot sync easy to use, never crashes. Multiple software applications available, easy to download and install. Hardcover that comes with Palm IIIx acts as good screen...

Pros: Does the job
Cons: Marginal mechanical construction, display back light.

I've had my IIIx for over two years. I use the address book and organizer, and a few games. It isn't that good for note taking (in real time). After two years of practice, character input is still tedious.

I've had to disassemble it several...

Pros: Powerful and cheap, lots of add ons
Cons: Not as sexy as the Palm V

If you buy a PDA you have to buy one that runs Palm OS. Why? First it is the easiest and best system out there but more importantly it is the gold standard with close to 70% of all PDAs sold running Palm OS. This means there are hundreds of supplies...

Pros: Ease of use. Lot's of memory. Very helpful
Cons: Price.. It's not as pretty as the Palm V

I am a high school student. You'd think I wouldn't need a palm pilot, but then again, I am the most disorganized person ever. The Palm IIIx is a fantastic help to me. It's great. The applications built in (Date Book o Address Book o Mail o To Do List o...

Pros: high memory, resonable price
Cons: none

I got my Palm IIIX in August and now can't do without it. Originally I had reservations about it's usefullness, but now use it for work, shopping lists, travel directions, memos, etc. I learned all the basic functions in about 1 hour, without reading the...

Pros: Tons of applications, unearthly-long battery life, perfect integration with your desktop computer, compactness, reliability. Better things are coming out with the same OS, but that means the IIIx is getting cheaper and cheaper, and no less remarkable.
Cons: No color, not for memory-hogs, soon to be beaten out by better devices on the same platform.

Ever since I bought my PalmIIIx, six months ago, I've been a Palm Evangelist. I love the thing. I bought it after reading a million users' descriptions of all the things it has done for their lives. I've never been an organized person, and suddenly...
