The Palm IIIx carries on the tradition of the attractive and popular Palm line of PDAs. With its 4MB memory, this connected organizer is rated to hold 12,000 addresses, 5 years of appointments, 3,000 to-do items, 3,000 memos, and 400 e-mail messages. The "x" in IIIx stands for expandable, and the Palm IIIx offers memory expansion with an internal slot for upgrade cards.
Setting up the Palm IIIx was easy--we just inserted two batteries, connected the cradle to a desktop PC serial port, dropped in the software CD-ROM, and followed the installation wizard.
You can navigate through the Palm IIIx's main applications--memo pad, to-do list, address book, and calendar--with six push buttons or by tapping the stylus on the backlit display. Palm OS 3.1 facilitates drag-and-drop linking to Microsoft Word or Excel and provides network synchronization and automatic configuration with Microsoft Outlook. The CD-ROM that comes with the Palm IIIx provides all the necessary software to manage tasks on your desktop, too.
The Palm IIIx is PC- and Mac-compatible (an inexpensive MacPac connection kit is required for Mac users), and, as with the PalmPilot Professional, the Palm IIIx uses the industry-acclaimed HotSync technology to exchange data with your desktop PC. The documentation is extensive and well written; it includes a Getting Started card, a handbook, a software-and-resource guide, and an accessory catalog.
In our test of the Graffiti Power Writing feature, which allows you to write on the Palm IIIx using Graffiti's shorthand alphabet, the Palm IIIx interpreted a full paragraph with no errors. We easily and successfully transmitted the text to another device through the infrared transceiver. We found Palm IIIx's expansion slot beneath its cover. While memory upgrade cards are not yet available from 3Com, other manufacturers do make compatible cards.
With its increased memory and OS 3.1, the Palm IIIx is a great evolutionary step in the Palm line. --Mike Brown

Mislead
I purchased the Palm IIIX because I thought that it had an open expansion slot for addition of memory upgrade cards. I wasn't able to locate the expansion slot for additional memory, so, I contacted Palm. The customer representative stated that it is only upgradeable as far as the operating system is concerned. You aren't able to use an additional memory card for this handheld.
I have been able to download some applications to the handheld, but, I would have preferred more memory.
let down again
THIS IS THE SECOND pALM 111X i HAVE PURCHASED ALTHOUGH THE FIRST FROM AMAZON AND, TRUE TO FORM THE DEVICE HAS SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. My LIFE is in this machine and it is frozen! I never will touch anything made by PALM again and I am sorry that AMAZON could not have prevented this.
5 Years and Going Strong!
I have had my Palm IIIx for almost 5 years now, and it is still working as well as the day I bought it! I am more than satisfied with Palm products, and am currently looking into a Tungsten as an upgrade. The Windows based palmtops are nice too, but they cannot beat the Palm's reliability and ease of use. The software is also very stable and easy to use. This is the only device of its kind I own that has never lost data or become corrupted. Reliability goes a long way with me, so I give it 5 stars!
