Great Product and Easy to Use
I am new to handhelds and I originally was going to buy the lower priced Zire. However, there were several programs I wanted to add that redquired more memory. You cannot update the Zire.I opted for the M130 and was not disappointed. It is user friendly and great for a novice. The small screen is not really bothersome since you can easily input using your computer and then synch. I noticed some reviewers said it was difficult to use the stylus on the screen. I have not found this to be a problem at all as it seems very accurate. My only complaint is having to switch from alpha mode to numeric when inputting. I would prefer to have the screen contain both.

Great entry PDA
The perfect minimal PDA. The Memory card allows for unlimited data storage. The calender, address list, and to-do lists are basic and all I need for my business.

More necessary than air...
Well, maybe not, but close. There really isn't much to be said about Palm products that hasn't been over and over. Suffice it to say that, having graduated to the m130 after my poor, overworked m125 went belly-up, I'm delighted with its features and performance. I went for the 125 initially because I liked the idea of using regular batteries. However, so far the 130's onboard rechargeable is behaving beautifully. I also like that the adapter socket has been moved to the cradle rather than being on the same end as the USB plug as it was previously. I use my Palm mainly for reading--submissions to my publishing company and ebooks sent to me for review. However, I find I'm using the other functions more and more, and Palm OS has one of the nicer interfaces I've used. Great price, and just what I need--who could ask for more?

Best note pad for inspirational thoughts !
I recently bought this palm pilet and use the note pad more than anything else. I can note my thoughts as soon as they appear without having to use the keyboard at all. I can't wait to get more expansion cards. I also love the color! It's easy to see. Buy this model instead of the 515 model because the extra cost can be made up with a discounted memory card!

One of the Best Palms Ever
This is one of the best Palms ever. It fits into your hand perfectly! Even though The 500 series is flat and portable I would hate to put it into my hand. Plus there is color and you can have almost unlimited memory with memory chips. What more could you want?
