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 --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 ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000DM9S/%24%7B0%7D
), the Palm III uses the critically accled 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
