Digital camera reviews of PalmOne m500 Handheld

Digital camera Review: "Was" a Great Product, Overpriced
Summary: 4 Stars

The price is getting down near [$] (though not consistently) for refurbushed models at Palm.com.

Right now (Feb 1,2003) , Palm is selling them new at [$]. I'm still shopping.... but carefully. Many vendors are currently selling them used or refurbished for this amount.. or more! Before Christmas, Palm noted the expected retail price as [$], but the actual selling price rarely reflects this. Overall, the selling price has remained inflated for this b&w screen product due to customer demand.

So, for now, I'm biding my time.....

Summary of PalmOne m500 Handheld

The expansion card slot is a dual-purpose slot that can hold two types of cards: Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard (MMC). Both types of cards are small, inexpensive, and easy to plug in. Much like computer diskettes, they hold information for upload or download onto a handheld. With them, you can instantly add software programs, e-books, large databases, graphics, or even video files to your handheld without sacrificing memory space.

Sleek and lightweight, the Palm m500 handheld has a shiny aluminum casing and is curved to fit in your hand. The display's enhanced technology makes it easier to see at all angles, in dim light, and in bright sunlight.

The new native USB HotSync cradle allows you to quickly back up and exchange information between your handheld and your PC or Mac. The Palm m500 handheld also features new vibrating and blinking LED alarms (in addition to the standard audible alarm) to help you stay on top of your busy schedule. The Palm m500 handheld comes equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery, which is charged using the HotSync cradle.

The Palm m500 handheld comes with Palm OS 4.0, which provides enhanced security and improved Internet connectivity. Other application features include Note Pad for writing sticky notes, Palm Mobile Connectivity for connecting to the Internet and obtaining e-mail via compatible cellular phones, and AOL for the Palm OS.

The Palm m500 handheld is PC and Macintosh compatible and requires a USB port. It comes with Palm desktop software for both PC and Macintosh. It has a one-year warranty.
