Pros Palm OS, Price, 4MB Memory, Upgradeable

Cons Monochrome Screen, Heavy Users May Need 8MB of Memory

Recommended it? Yes

Pros Back then... 4 MB RAM, Flash Memory, clear screen, long battery life

Cons Can't compare with models today

Recommended it? No

Pros Powerful, WiFi and Bluetooth enabled and nice display

Cons Battery life could use to be better

Recommended it? Yes

I have used a couple of different PDA's at work to help me carry important reference materials that I use.
