New Palm Handhelds

Palm has released a new fleet of models over the past few months and we have updated our comprehensive PDA selection webpage to reflect this. The good news is that the model variety is now converging allowing for easier selection. Make sure to select a handheld that has at least 32-128MB of RAM and that is expandable. There is only one model now that isn't (Palm Z22), so avoid this particular model. The life drive has a huge 4GB built-in hard drive, but it is a little slow to access files, so only choose that one if you plan on storing picture albums or extensive music collections. Finally, if you want a phone/PDA you can pick either the Treo 650 or the new 700W which runs the Windows operating system. It's nice to have these choices, and at the same time not be overwhelmed with too many options. I've also found that the Palm T/X runs wireless flawlessly right out of the box and with minimal setup. It is the most reliable wireless configuration I have seen on a handheld to date. My Treo also continues to function as a workhorse with all the features needed by a busy physician.
