Product:
Palm Pilot V
Company: 3Com
Website: http://www.palmpilot.com
Estimated Street Price: £350/$449
Review By: Byron Hinson
The Features
Most of you would have come across some
sort of palm organizer during your lifetime. They could have been in the
form of the Palm Pilot or some Windows CE based organizer. There isn't
really much doubt that the Palm Pilot by 3Com is currently the most
popular of the batch, with new versions released regularly. Their latest
release is the rather sleek and sexy Palm V, this version offers a much
improved, clearer screen, better software and a much smaller, lighter
design.
Here are the basic features of the Palm
V:
