| (...) 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 (...) (24 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 (...) (24 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 (...) (24 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 (...) (24 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
