A Must Have for anyone
I have had a Palm for the past two years and found I cannot live without it. It is not only the built in applications which make my life easier, but the thousands of 3rd party applications available for free or next to nothing on the internet, which expand the use of my palm to something I use 20 times a day. There is software which will allow you to track your banking and merge the data with Quicken or other banking software, store maps, look up a zip code or area code, download entire books, play games, create shopping lists, and with a modem, even let you surf the internet, or send and receive e-mail and faxes. I even have my entire CD collection of over 600 cd's stored by artist, title and song name which I converted from a spreadsheet and stored on my Palm. When I go to the record store to find new songs, I can instantly see if I have a particular song on another disk. The endless expandibility via 3rd party applications is probably the Palm IIIx best feature.

3 is not for me
Palm 3's are not what they are all cracked up to be. Speaking of cracked up, thats what you feel like when you try to synchronize it with your PC or Mac. For a little bit more money, the Palm V or Palm VX are a better choice.

EXCELLENT!
I had a PalmPilot Professional that died, so I got the IIIx. I am thoroughly thrilled with it, especially the weighted stylus and the better screen resolution.

One suggestion: download the hack to make the backlight normal. Instead of the text being dark against light, the backlight makes the text light against a dark background, which looks a little weird.

Best product I've bought since my 1st PC
I have been trying to find faults with my IIIX since I bought it three months ago, and still cannot. Every time I think I have found something I don't like I consult the manual and my solution is in black and white. Next thay need to have voice activation so it will type while you talk and I don't have to write while driving. As good as this product is it won't be long.

The little engine that could
I bought by Palm IIIx on a whim. I figured, "Well, everyone else seems to think they're great." They were right. The Palm IIIx is fantastic. For me, the best features are its address book and the "To Do List." Gone are the little scraps of paper I used to use to keep all my lists of stuff to do. I've been completely neglecting my paper address book ever since I got the IIIx. Between its small size, its ease of use, and its versatility, this Palm is a winner all around. BTW, I highly recommend the O'Reilly PalmPilot guide to go with it. Like all O'Reilly books, this one cuts right to the chase. It makes the IIIx even easier to use.
