The
Palm
IIIx carries on the tradition of the attractive and popular Palm
line of PDAs. With its 4MB memory, this connected organizer is rated to
hold 12,000 addresses, 5 years of appointments, 3,000 to-do items, 3,000
memos, and 400 e-mail messages. The "x" in IIIx stands for
expandable, and the Palm IIIx offers memory expansion with an internal
slot for upgrade cards.
Setting
up the Palm
IIIx is easy -- just insert two batteries, connect the cradle to
a desktop PC serial port, drop in the software CD-ROM, and follow the
installation wizard...and you are on your way! Take your Palm
IIIx with you everywhere you go.
You
can navigate through the Palm
IIIx's main applications -- memo pad, to-do list, address book,
and calendar -- with six push buttons or by tapping the stylus on the
backlit display. Palm OS 3.1 facilitates drag-and-drop linking to
Microsoft Word or Excel and provides network synchronization and
automatic configuration with Microsoft Outlook. The CD-ROM that comes
with the Palm
IIIx provides all the necessary software to manage tasks on your
desktop, too.
The Palm
IIIx is PC- and Mac-compatible (an inexpensive MacPac connection
kit is required for Mac users), and, as with the PalmPilot Professional,
the Palm
IIIx uses the industry-acclaimed HotSync technology to exchange
data with your desktop PC. The documentation is extensive and well
written; it includes a Getting Started card, a handbook, a
software-and-resource guide, and an accessory catalog.
In tests of the
Graffiti Power Writing feature, which allows you to write on the Palm
IIIx using Graffiti's shorthand alphabet, the Palm
IIIx can interpret a full paragraph with no errors. Easily and
successfully transmit text to another device through the infrared
transceiver. The Palm
IIIx's expansion slot is found beneath its cover. While memory
upgrade cards are not yet available from 3Com, other manufacturers do
make compatible cards.
With its increased
memory and OS 3.1, the Palm IIIx is a great
evolutionary step in the Palm line.
Pros:
- Expandable for
possible add-on hardware and memory upgrade cards

learn, and use

third-party software, shareware, and freeware
