| Folks out there must have Palm Pilots, is it worth the extra money to step up to IIIx instead of starting with a IIIe? What are the advantages of the IIIX? (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) I have a IIIx. I bought it mainly because I wanted more RAM (4 megs) instead of less with a cool case - the V. Haven't kept up with the specs on the other models - I assume the IIIe has 2mb? I figure more is better, and since IIIx's were going (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) The IIIe is also not flash upgradable. Not a death-knell type flaw, but it does shorten the lifespan. That's more important than the RAM, I think. Mike, how much of your 4MB are you using? I've got a IIIx too, and I barely have more than 1MB (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Yeah, not being upgradable sucks. I'm using less than a meg, but I have yet to start trying out much of anything other than the built-in apps. Even if I never use more than 1.5mb, though, I'll feel better knowing I have 4mb instead of 2mb. And (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) The color one has a built-in lithium rechargable, like the palm V, so it's less of an issue. They claim about two weeks of use. Further investigation shows that that's assuming 40 minutes a days, so that translates to 9-10 hours of continuous (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) I believe that I've read that the e doesn't have the same sync capabilities as the x does, but I don't know the details offhand. Hmm, now that I think of it, I'm not sure where I heard that - may be a bad rumour. ah, there it is. According to (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Hrmmm... that really isn't too shabby. I think I'll find someone who wants a IIIx cheap and get a IIIc, assuming it has 4mb. (25 years ago, 1-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Looks like you're right about the IIIc. The V and Vx do this as well. Not sure about the VII. (25 years ago, 1-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
