Description
The tapered design, expanded memory, infrared transceiver for communicating with other PDAs, and flip-top cover make 3Com's Palm III even more of a dream electronic organizer for closet Star Fleet officers and harried professionals. With 2 MB of storage, the wallet-sized Palm III holds 6,000 addresses, 3,000 appointments, 1,500 to-do items, 1,500 memos, and 200 e-mail messages. The installed Graffiti Power Writing software allows you to write on the Palm III using Graffiti's shorthand alphabet. Users can also tap out letters on an on-screen keyboard using a heavy-duty stylus, which is included. Navigation through the core information management applications--memo pad, to-do list, address book, and calendar--is accomplished with six push buttons or by tapping the stylus on the backlit display. Palm OS 3.0 includes more fonts than earlier versions and facilitates drag-and-drop linking to Microsoft Word or Excel. The CD-ROM that comes with the Palm III provides all the necessary software to manage tasks on your desktop, too. The Palm III is PC and Mac compatible (an inexpensive MacPac connection kit is required for Mac users), and, as with the PalmPilot Professional, the Palm III uses the critically acclaimed HotSync technology to exchange data with your desktop PC. The Palm III is packaged with batteries, several useful manuals, an adapter, connection cables, and the HotSync docking cradle. The Palm III has garnered a number of awards, including an MVP and 5-star rating from PC Computing, a four-star rating from Macworld, a Best of 1997 mention from PC Magazine, a Best of Byte from Byte magazine, and a stellar rating from Windows Sources. --Patrick O'Kelley

Palm III PDA
Strengths: easy to use, enough memory for addresses and appointments
Weakness: old model not enough memory for additional software
When the Palm Pilot was released I purchased it right away. Then the company was purchased by 3com and I upgraded to the Palm III. The transfer of data was seamless. I do most of my data entry for the unit on the computer and sync the data with the Palm. When needed I do enter data directly to the palm and have become pretty fast with phone numbers and addresses. I currently store 2,700 addresses...
