Summary: Nice Cheap Starting Palm OS Unit.
Review: I have the m100 and to address some issues.Yes the screen is SMALLER, but so are the pixels. I have used the III and V's before and I don't really notice a difference. However if you read ebooks on your palm I suggest not going with the m100 and buy the IIIe. Your eyes will thank you for that. As for the body. The design isn't all that cool. It's ok, it ain't ugly but not that good compared to the V. However the body is very tough. And if I accidently droped it (God I hope not!) it won't break as easily. All in all it's a great palm for 150 compared to the handspring which you have to pay around another 30 bucks for the hotsync cradle. However the V is the ultimate PALM! But for around 300 bucks? Nah, too expensive for me. I'm a college student and I got to pay my tuition so for me the m100 is great. Much better than the IIIe cause the OS is 3.5 compared to the 3.1 IIIe. The two bad thing I found is that the power button is placed in a cruddy place. I wished they at least they placed it in the upper sides and not the middle like the V so I can easily turn it off or on when I'm just using one arm. The other bad thing is there is NO EMAIL CONDUIT! I asked palm about this and they recommend I buy Multimail Pro. HELLO! Marketing Gimmik? Get us to dish out another 40 bucks for ao program? And multimail is owned by palm. Bah! That's the only annoying thing. All in all it's great! I don't like the new colored face plates so I just take mine off get some Good High Quality Chrome Paint and spray it. =) Looks nice. Z

Summary: M100 a great deal for great organization
Review: The M100 is a great PDA for the money. Just much of the same as a Palm Vx, and has some new features even the Palm Vx doesn't have (the little windo in the cover to see the clock). Easy to set up, easy to use, this little Palm is my new best friend. The only problem I had was that it froze up on my first hotsync, but doing fine now.

Summary: Great for Moms
Review: I purchased the m100 to keep myself organized. I like the flip top cover and the handy clock. I have no experience with handhelds and it was extremely easy to get used to. My husband is able to beam me his travel schedules from his palm 5 and that is great! The m100 fits nicely in my purse. My only complaint is the unavailability of screen covers at this time. I had to trim down one of my husband's and it doesn't fit just right. I really think this is just what I need to keep all of our schedules!

Summary: Nice Idea for Those on a Budget, but Cheaply Made
Review: The m100 is a pretty good idea and is great for people who don't want to buy one of the more expensive palms. But when it all comes down to it, it is just a cheaply made palm IIIe with a few new features. The alarm feature is really useful to alert you of something due on your schedule. The notepad feature isn't all that great though. The screen is smaller than the usual palm and really isn't comfortable when trying to jot something down. The cover that comes with the m100 is different than used before. You can rotate it all the way to the to the back of the palm which is really nice. The only problem with this cover is I wish there was a way to secure it. The cover very easily flops around if not held down by your own hand, and is a very tempting part of this device to leave home. As mentioned before the screen isn't very big, and this is noticeable if you've used an earlier model palm. The feel of the m100, when using it, does not feel as though you have a quality product as well. I would have to say by far the most annoying thing I have come across with this particular palm is the power on/off switch, and is what really affirms it was made cheaply. It is very sensitive and sometimes does not even work. After reading other reviews about this device, it seems as though I'm not the only one to encounter this either. This was very disappointing. Another disappointment it, if you want a cradle for this device you have to shell out [more money]... I actually believe this device isn't worth the [money] they charge. I have also read an article that states that the price of this device will be [lowered] in the coming months. If you really want to buy this device I would wait untill then. You would be almost getting your moneys worth.

Summary: Excellent entry product
Review: I am a Palm V owner and with every thing from work, to my social life and investments plugged in, I need it to free up organization time. The Palm Product is excellent. The M100 has most of the features that the other Palms have. One thing I don't like is the inability to expand memory (making the X series Palms a more useful tool for the Power user.) But lets be realistic shall we? The M100 brings you in with all the features, reasonably priced accessories and showcase looks. I think it will do well against Visor. Visor is also a good product, but lacks customer support and lacks shareware options. Lets see what they do with all these earnings first. Maybe they will expand customer service and save the company. Incidently, I own Handspring Stock.

Summary: This is the way to go for total office organization
Review: There was a time not so long ago that we spend a small fortune on hand-written organizers. The system required training and, therefore, time off of work. Moreover, between the leather covers and the the new calendars every year the system represented an on-going and inefficient operation. It's amazing how fast things can sometimes change for the better. I've had a Palm V for some time now and it has exceeded all my expectations. Nevertheless, it was not practical to outfit the entire office with the reasonable but still substantial price tag of the Palm V. Now, however, the new Palm m100 should make it affordable to keep the entire office organized with the great Palm platform. I bought one the other day to make sure it could deliver. Again, I have not been disappointed. The only discernable drawback might be a lack of memory. Even so, I've been amazed at the small fraction of memory I've used on my Palm V. For the purpose of keeping an entire staff on time, on task, and well organized with a rolodex full of information always at their finger tips, it seem the m100 will be up to the task.

Summary: Palm wannabe visor
Review: You can't expand it, what if you run out of memory? With the Handspring Visor you can buy a 2-8 meg expansion module that plugs into the springboard slot. Plus there are other modules you can use: MP3 players, GPS map systems, wireless modems, voice recorders, etc. I guess if you want to limit yourself on usefullness, get the M100 (what is up with the new name).

Summary: more of the same
Review: All things considered, the M100 is remarkably similar to the Palm IIIe and also to the Handspring Visor. They all run the Palm OS, have 2MB of RAM, and are powered by AAA batteries. They also all sell for $149. But the monochrome screen on the M100 is just 2 inches square--almost a half inch smaller than the Palm IIIe's screen. It's still large enough to be useful, but it feels cramped. The M100 does have two handy additions to the Palm formula: the first is an integrated clock, and the other is a piece of software designed to replace Memo Pad. This feature, called Note Pad, allows you to draw and take notes directly on the screen rather than using Graffiti to enter text. I found it very handy for jotting down a phone number, which you can later transcribe with Graffiti. Don't think you must get an M100 to do this, though; third-party software, such as BugMe can do essentially the same thing on any Palm OS device. By far the most appealing change is the small, light, new body. Although at 4.4 ounces it weighs little more than the Palm V, the M100 is much thicker than that model. When you tire of basic black, just snap off the faceplate and replace it with another color. A new, double-hinged screen cover has a little window through which you can see a portion of the screen and a hole that allows you to access the scroll button. If you press this button when the M100 is turned off, the clock will be displayed through the window of the cover. When an appointment alarm sounds, you can read it right through the window as well. The cover can be folded behind the device, an improvement over the III series, but it tends to flap around a bit. I like the price since, for $150, a Palm OS device with 2MB of RAM is plenty of computer. However, I recommend a Palm IIIe or, if you're fond of colors, the Handspring Visor because they offer slightly larger screens for the same price. The M100 is cute and the software tweaks are nice but its not really all that great compared to the IIIe.

Summary: Yeah, its OK
Review: This palm is OK because it is not color and after time, the digitizer breaks (the part that makes it so you can use the touch screen feature) If i were you, i would get the M130 - it is color and not as old - it is VERY GOOD for School!
