Love it so much I'm neglecting my laptop!
I absolutely love my Palm IIIx. Originally, my wife ordered a Handspring Visor for my birthday. Six weeks later, with no indication of when (if ever) the Visor would be shipping, she cancelled it and ordered the Palm IIIx for me instead. I've been playing endless with it since.I find, for example, it's easier to write on the PDA than on paper in a moving car; hence, car rides can be much more productive. Then I found out about downloading games from the Internet. I've been wasting endless amounts of time playing a beloved game from my college days ("Rogue").

Great toy but needs better batteries
I love it. Great software available. The only drawback I have found is the batteries. 2 AAA batteries are not enough. They learned and the V has lithium batteries. Oh well.

Pretty good, but so much like a PC
I got mine several days ago and, so far, it works like a champ. Applications like address book, calendar and email are so well designed that you never have to consult the directions for their use. I especially liked the one button link between the Palm and my PC that sychronized files. Palm's operating and character recognition systems work quickly and are easy to learn. It's remarkable how many applications it runs. The only negative is that you have to scrounge the WEB for downloadable application programs like text and image readers. 3Com should have included these in their package.

very useful but mine malfunctioned within 2 months
Although I love it and found it to be more useful than I had expected when it would not turn on or activiate after two months of use I felt lost, ripped off and up a creek with out a paddle. Would 3com upgrade to the latest model - NO WAY ! Did it take 10 minutes to speak to someone in customer service - count on it. It may be too early for this technology to last and $300 plus for a 2 month day planner will hurt you just like it did me ! You have been warned !

The BEST!
The PalmIIIx is something that no one can live without. I recieved my palmIIIx on Nov 3rd of 1999 I love it. What I really like is that you can but a small portable keyboard that you can hook up to your palmIIIx and type in the information that you want to put in instead of writing it. This product is fun and easy to use. I love the e-mail. Now I don't have to wait for my desktop to boot up and then sign of to AOL. I get the internet all here with the push of a green button wait two seconds then push on the e-mail and check it. It's so easy to use I love it.
