color in my life
Palm IIIc is a great PDA to work with. I have earlier used Palm V but colors is one thing that can make a lot of difference. and who needs those 65000 colors being offered in other PDA's. its 256 color pallette is more than sufficient. I think if one can afford it, it is the product to go for.

Espectacular
Si algo les faltaba a las palm para ser perfectas era el color, y esta lo tiene, aparte con muy buena nitidez. Las fotos a pesar de ser 256 colores se ven bastante bien. El unico defecto que le encontre es que al Sol hay que poner el brillo al maximo para poder ver, de todas formas este no es un gran problema, por lo menos para mi, porque rara vez la uso al Sol. Por ahi lei que le criticaban el mayor tamaƱo,es 0,5 cm mas larga que las otras III, en la practica no se nota.

No longer a happy user
Until this week, I thought my Palm IIIc was the best product. That ended when I realized my Palm was falling apart. A corner of my Palm case fell off and is now not working properly. I called Palm and they will gladly fix my Palm for $100 (I have had the Palm for exactly one year). I can buy a brand new Palm IIIc for $299. I was preparing to purchase the new Palm 505, but have decided to look at the other brands available. This was a VERY expense toy for one years worth of work.

My First PDA and It's Great.
After spending hours trying to decide what to buy, I bought the Palm IIIc because I wanted color (who watches b/w tv?), Palm has been around now for a few years, there are 100's of programs to download for it and auctions like Ebay have 100's of listings for software, hardware addons, etc.. I've had it for a few months now which I use for work (I'm an RN) and have had no problems with it. There are alot of programs for use in the medical field (alot free).

Bought, Sold & Happy :-)
After using my Palm Vx for about 8 month, Palm has released the new Palm IIIc. The first color Palm! I ordered one the first day I saw it. I was very excited how the screen and the unit looks like. My first two thoughts were "what a great screen" and "why is it so big". The IIIc became my main PDA and I sold my Vx. The IIIc was large to carry around (I was used to my Vx) but I samehow managed it. After loading a few games onto my PDA to check out the new color screen I was very, very disappointed! The IIIc was the most slowest PDA I could have imagine, it was nearly impossible for me to play a action game on it. Then it has trouble with BugMe! (we all know BugMe!), when I would draw a picture with a alarm and open it, the IIIc would show me every single line I draw. That made it impossible for me to use BugMe!, and DiddleBug didn't worked with the color device! I brought my PDA out in the sunlight and I could barely read anything, even setting the screen to the highest brightness. After 3 month of using it I missed my Vx. I sold my IIIc, bought a Vx again and now I'm happy. I wouldn't recommend the IIIc, get the Handspring Visor Prism (it's a much better PDA).
