Died and will not reset
After a year, the Lifedrive froze while starting up. I tried resetting, including several hard resets, which the unit would never complete. A call to Palm Tech Support did no good - they want me to send it back for repair (at my own expense, since it's past the warranty period).

great little machine
I have heard a lot about these things freezing up and dying, but thats only because something was installed wrong on it. i have had mine for 3 years now, and it only died once, because i downloaded free solitaire games off the internet. i reset it, and it works fine. so convenient to be able to edit all of my microsoft office applications on the go. i went to hawaii and took this with me, and was able to use the moblie manager feature to upload my digital cameras sd card onto it, so i could continue to take pictures. the mp3 player has always worked perfectly for me. the interent applications are fantastic.

not worth the money
it holds a lot of information/books etc, and therefore makes a great reference if you are a professional, travel, etc. Also, it is quite good at finding access to the internet. Unfortunately, I didn't heed the warnings of others. It's hard drive has broken after 6 months of use. Now its a great paper weight!

Junk!!!!
Well...I am on my 4th and soon to be on my 5th...thank God for an extended warranty from Staples...since I have had mine, It has either been sent off or broke down. I was a loyal Palm user but the life drive is a pure piece of tech. junk...steer clear!!!

not worth it!
I purchased this product and quickly learned the reason as to why it's been discontinued. It is HORRIBLY slow. It freezes up when trying to simply search for wireless networks, or when switching between screens. Then I installed some medical programs on it and it was even slower. Finally I uploaded one photograph to it......ONE!! And the thing got stuck in a reset loop. It just kept resetting itself, and no matter what buttons i pushed or for how long it just kept turning on and off and on and off. When I taped it back up in the box to return, it was still resetting itself. I think the battery died not long after I shipped it back.
