Summary: The greatest thing since laptops.
Review: This tool will become indispensable to you after a few days of use. This is a practical replacement for a heavy and expensive laptop for those individuals who mainly use the laptop for email access. You will find that it replaces your daytimer as well, but has the additional convenience of electronic updates from your desktop. The one button hot sync capability is incredibly easy. It assures that you will have the latest information from your desktop machine, and provides the ability to recover all of your information should you happen to back your car over the PalmIII.

Summary: My Palm III changed my life.
Review: I've used a planner since 1980 when I was a military recruiter. On April 26, I received a Palm III for my birthday. It was so much more convenient for managing my day, contacts, and appointments as a financial consultant that I did away with my daytimer completely within a week.

Summary: It goes where I go, sees what I see, does what I do...
Review: If you (or anyone you know) needs any of the following:1) a personal organizer 2) a 'nifty and happening' computer platform 3) a suppliment to your PC then you must get a Palm III! (Palm III is the actual name... the Pilot name is being phased out) I've had mine for just under three months and already it's been a great help. I'm currently a full-time college student, and so my Palm III has been wonderful for keeping track of things like: homework assignments, class schedules, planned appointments with instructors, and the like. Like the summary above says, it goes where I go, sees what I see, does what I do... (Okay, so maybe those last two are a bit exaggerated... :-) ) Seriously, what are you doing without one? (BTW, many don't know it, but there's lots of nifty add-on programs that you can easily put on a Palm III.

Summary: > > A Great TEAM Created the Pilot! < <
Review: As author of the original manual for the then Palm (later USR and now 3Com) Pilot, (almost called it "Taxi") it was an exciting Christmas in 1995 as I wrote the Guide. Cramming my prototype into its funny cradle, I wrote with giggles and excitement knowing it would be a hit. Think I was rignt? Hats off to a Mister Eddie Culligan.

Summary: Ergonomic, intuitive and functional!
Review: I've owned every model of Pilot released in the past two years. The Palm III takes the basic idea of the original Pilot 1000 and expands the functionality without introducing a lot of overhead. It not only keeps me in sync with my appointments and contacts, but also provides a solid platform for mobile computing. Third party applications available include web browsers, databases, video games, and electronic book viewers. This is a fantastic product!

Summary: Great tool...BUT beware the dreaded cracked screen....
Review: I'll be the first to say it - I love my pilot. I take it everywhere & it has saved me driving to the office on numerous weekends. I had the Palm Professional too, and have since upgraded to the Palm III. My Palm Professional was dropped numerous times, with minimal damage. I've had my new Palm III for 3 months. I dropped it - for the first time - this morning. It fell a distance of no more than 5 inches to a tile floor and cracked the screen. When I called Support - they informed me that they could a) send out a reconditioned model that I could keep but send my own in return, or b) they would send out an empty box w/a prepaid airbill to return my device for repairs. This would cost me $100 either way. Now, I'm a reasonable person, but paying 25-30% of the original cost for a cracked screen seems a bit high. Seeing as they are the only folks able to repair these things, it looks more like a nice after market than anything else. The support rep mentioned that 60-70% of their calls are for cracked screens. Pilot should re-evaluate the amount of money they charge for repairs of this type - especially if they are so numerous. I haven't decided whether I want to go ahead and spend the money to have it repaired or put that $100 toward another PDA - from another manufacturer. Its a great tool - and if you buy it you'll love it. But be prepared to never, EVER drop it. ;-)

Summary: The Best For Beginners
Review: I have been having my PALM II for more or less 1 year and am very happy with it. The handling of directions, appointments, alarms, to-do's, cocktails, even TV-shows is excellent.
The memory capacity is something limiting when you begin to use 3rd-apps (Irda Remote Control emulation, DocuemntsToGo,etc). The back-light is very shining, and its consumption of batteries (alkalines) is fair (1 pair every month).
I bought this one from a friend that boght it from another friend. i'm the 3d owner, but even so, keeps totally useful, no scratchs and good-looking.
It's some heavy and big (it's not a ZIRE!) but for the beginner that wants to wipe out all the papers and the phone book, it's perfect!
A point important to consider is the size of the screen, in my opnion, is a bit greater than the rest, so the fonts appear more clear and you read them easier.
And finally, the price: It's an old model (it's a Classic!) therefore if you can get one of this, just do it!, it's very cheap for their services.
Come to the Palm world = )
