IBM in Your Pocket

byRichBoston Jul 12, 2000
32 Helpfuls 33 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Size, IBM Name, Lower price than Palm V (possibly)
Cons Syncs to Lotus
Recommended it? Yes

I wasn?t going to review the IBM WorkPad c3 as I believed that IBM simply licensed the whole Palm V package from Palm and slapped the IBM name on it to take advantage of the share of the market that might gravitate to the IBM name and not the Palm. If so, they were putting their name on an... Read full review »

IBM Workpad - Careful--it's addictive

bymcgina Jul 25, 2000
29 Helpfuls 30 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros convenient, stylish
Cons graffiti can be clumsy to learn
Recommended it? Yes

I've had my Workpad for over a year and I can't imagine how I ever did without it. For days I sat hunched over it, scribbling and practicing my Graffiti, entering mountains of data, downloading games and applications, playing with them during meetings (oops--did I say that?). You won't believe the... Read full review »

How did I live without this thing?!

Pros easy to use, lots of features
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

At the top of my Christmas list last year was a PDA... actually, I wasn't aware at that time that there was any brand other than Palm Pilot! A colleague had one and I was impressed with all this little hand-held device could do. Well, I got my Christmas present a bit early. At my staff Christmas... Read full review »

Incredible eBay value

bylawman67 Nov 12, 2002
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Thin, light, fast, beautiful, uncommon
Cons Serial vs. USB (rectified in newer model)
Recommended it? Yes

First off, the IBM WorkPad C3 is, in fact, a "Badge-Engineered" Palm Vx. It is identical in every way except color (black) and markings. The built-in applicatins and the operating system (Palm OS 3.5) are identical.

While there have been subtle changes to the OS and applications over the... Read full review »

One Fine PDA

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Does a few things and does it well.
Cons No color screen (not that it really needs one).
Recommended it? Yes

If you're tired of everybody and their grandmother toting around Palms and Handsprings, check out the IBM WorkPad c3. It's a black Palm Vx with IBM-syncing software, and when you pull it out, jaded PDA users WILL do a double take.

Feature Set
Like all Palm OS-based PDAs, the c3 has:... Read full review »

Exactly like the Palm Vx but sexier !

byntech Sep 14, 2000
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Same as Palm Vx but cheaper and looks sexy in black
Cons Memory expansion not supported
Recommended it? Yes

Okay, to start things off, I have used the Palm Vx and the Visor Deluxe before. There are two reasons why I bought the Workpad. The first reason is because I love the colour of the device (don't you think black goes great with all of Palm accessories - for example, the Palm V modem, the leather... Read full review »

Good Enough Isn't

byron Aug 25, 1999
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, convenient, very easy to use
Cons Doesn't synch conveniently enough with Microsoft Outlook
Recommended it? Yes

IBM has put a sleek, matte black finish around the trusty Palm V platform that everyone else uses. Yes, you can still beam information back and forth between your IBM WorkPad and your friends' Palm V's, and yes you get the same product guarantees. But the main reason to get the IBM version is that... Read full review »

IBM WorkPad c3

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 8megs of memory. low cost
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

Works like a charm! I have used the palm pilot (original and v5) and swore by them until getting the newer model. Then I was gifted the IBM WorkPad c3. Wow! It has all the same features as the palm but more viewing options. For instance, in the calendar mode you can see a shot of your day including... Read full review »

IBM WorkPad c3 a Palm V in Black and Blue

bysean Jul 7, 1999
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great design and user interface.
Cons It's not silver, but who cares?
Recommended it? Yes

The IBM WorkPad c3 is almost identical in all ways to a Palm V. Same OS, same features, same memory and specifications. Most strikingly different is the color; the c3 is a jet black matte, rather than the Palm's dusky silver.

The c3 ships with Lotus EasySync software, for synchronizing... Read full review »

Black Sheep From IBM

Pros Light,Compact, Identical to Palm Vx, Long Battery Life, Excellent Integration with Lotus...
Cons Flimsy Power Button, Finish Scratches Easily
Recommended it? Yes

Hello,

I have been using my c3 for about a year now and would like to share some observations.

This is identical to the Vx from Palm Inc. The only physical difference is the flat black finish and IBM logo. Compared to the latest technology available today, it is still an... Read full review »
