For
the technophile who refuses to see the world in black and white,
Palm has created the Palm IIIc handheld--a color version of the
company's immensely popular Palm III handheld. Measuring 5.06 by
3.17 by 0.67 inches and weighing less than 7 ounces, the Palm
IIIc handheld is one of the smallest and lightest full-color
handhelds available. Its active-matrix screen produces vivid,
crisp colors and is viewable from many angles in both dim and
bright light.
While the color screen may be enough to dazzle many prospective
users, the Palm IIIc handheld still performs all the functions
of earlier models of the Palm III. It offers date book, address
book, mail, to-do list, memo pad, expense, calculator, and
security applications. Its built-in 8 MB of memory is as high a
storage capacity as is available in any Palm handheld.
To
quantify what 8 MB capacity means, the Palm IIIc handheld can
hold 10,000 addresses, five years of appointments, 3,000 to-do
items, 3,000 memos, and 400 e-mail messages. There is even
leftover storage space for databases, books, image viewers, and
games, making the Palm IIIc handheld an ally to any serious PDA
user.
Equipped with a HotSync cradle and software, the Palm IIIc
handheld is ready for local and remote synchronization out of
the box. You can back up or transfer data to and from the
handheld and your desktop PC or Macintosh (special connectors
required) in minutes. It's also ready for a modem (available
separately) and the Internet with its TCP/IP software.
The Palm
IIIc handheld includes an infrared port, allowing you to beam
data and applications to any other infrared-enabled Palm OS
handheld or to connect to other infrared-enabled devices such as
cellular phones, pagers, and laptops.
The Palm IIIc handheld runs for about two weeks on a fully
charged lithium battery, which is included. The box also
includes a synchronizing HotSync cradle and battery charger, a
metal stylus, organizer software, a handbook, Palm's Getting
Started guide, and a DB-25 adapter.
