Take Your Palm to a New Level
A color screen? Amazing.
Palm is the brand name that has set the standard for PDAs (personal digital assistants) and they have come out with another inovation. The Palm IIIc has a 256 color active matrix display. This screen is incredibly sharp; it makes any application look good. Photos are viewable on the screen as well, an amazing innovation. Packaged along with this great screen are applications to view web pages offline, play backgammon, an enhanced color calculator and even create a portable photo album so you can organize your favorite pictures. Overall, I have been impressed with this company, also considering that they recently went public with their stock. In addition to that, some of their little Palm’s have wireless internet access; if they ever couple the internet access with a color screen, they will have a killer Palm. These little units are nice for the rich, but at 449 dollars? That is a lot of money to spend on a little thing to organize your life with. Planners that use paper are cheaper, and in some ways faster although it is hard to beat a computer when it comes to address books. Anyways, as miniaturization continues, prices will decrease on these amazing units and features will increase. I think this little color wonder could be the beginning of a mass movement towards these Palms and PDAs.
