Product Information
Those looking for a simple piece of technology to mind their schedule and keep track of things like lists and contacts should check out the Palm III. It offers touch screen operations, HotSync Cradle, 2MB of RAM, and a Motorola Dragon Ball 16 MHz CPU. This is a small gadget, operated by two AAA batteries, that can easily fit into a pocket or small handbag. The operating system is Palm OS 3.0, which is easy to learn and use, so you can start quickly keeping track of everything in your new Palm Pilot device. There are tons of great apps ready to use. Some of the most useful apps include the date book, address book, memo pad, to-do list, expense tracker, calculator, and email. There is also a CD-ROM, which allows easy transfer of data between third-party devices and the Palm III. The success of Palm computing devices can be credited to the "HotSync" capability. The Palm Pilot software ensures that there are regular data backups of information if it drops data or the memory card gets loose or removed. The desktop-to-organizer connection allows you to access a myriad of popular programs from third-party developers. The desktop-to-organizer community is also a good place to ask questions to others who also use the Palm III. In fact, downloading applications to the product is as easy as downloading the file to your desktop PC and running the "Apploader." What makes this Palm Pilot organizer unique is its ability to store intense and graphically rich software such as Shadow Thief. Even more amazing, such software takes up little space, often less than 75KB. You should also note that Palm is the earliest type of PDA and "flash ROM" capable system that defined how large amounts of data could be stored on small tablets and PDAs. Despite a solid body size and a flip top removable cover, the Palm III is not bulky. In fact, the cover protects the screen from the outdoor elements. The curvy design and lack of a textured case is another positive aspect. This shape helps to slide the Palm III inside pockets and enclosed spaces. The casing also has an infrared port, which can be used to transfer book entries, datebook entries, and apps from other Palm devices and related accessories. Unlike the previous model, the HotSync port has a cover, which retracts easily when the device is put on the cradle. The oval-shaped button design and large power switch offer smooth handling without putting additional pressure on the unit.The Palm III is a very reliable gadget that has plenty of storage and comes with an IR port, which will allow you to store and use a variety of applications on the device. The sturdy body, responsive stylus, and well-designed cradle adds to the user interaction by providing a smooth touch. Its included apps, such as Intranet data synchronizer and PocketMirror for Outlook, make it a stand-out choice for you if you're someone who likes to get organized.Product Identifiers
