Feature  -  3 under-$200 PDAs for Students
by Steve Bush, Editor-in-Chief, PDA Verticals

Whether in grade school, high school or college, there's a PDA that's perfect for every student's needs, and every student's budget. Here's three excellent PDAs priced under $200.

Palm IIIe ($149). The Palm IIIe comes with everything a student needs to manage his or her busy school and social life. It includes all the easy-to-use Palm applications: Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, E-mail, Expense, and Calculator. It weights 6 ounces, is 4.7" x 3.2" x 0.7" in size, and contains 2 megabytes of RAM. The Palm IIIe can operate up to two months on two AAA batteries. More information about the Palm IIIe.

Palm m100 ($149). The Palm m100 is the latest addition to the Palm family of handheld computers. It features a contemporary, customizable design and a new Note Pad application, for jotting quick freehand notes, maps or drawings. It weights 4.4 ounces, is 4.66" x 3.12" x 0.72" in size, and contains 2 megabytes of RAM. The Palm m100 can operate up to two months on two AAA batteries. More information about the Palm m100.

Palm is also offering a free "Road Scholar CD" to U.S. customers who purchase any Palm handheld from authorized resellers or Palm directly between now and September 30. The CD is a compilation of 11 software applications that will enhance a Palm handheld as a powerful learning and research tool. The CD includes an assignment and class manager to help students juggle homework and extra-curricular activities, reference materials, test preparation software and even an application to track student loans and manage finances throughout the semester.

Handspring Visor ($149 without cradle/$179 with cradle). The Visor also comes with the standard suite of applications: Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Calculator, E-mail, Expense and World Clock. It weights 5.4 ounces, is 4.8" x 3.0" x 0.7" in size, and contains 2 megabytes of RAM. The Visor can operate up to two months on two AAA batteries.

The Visor is also based on the popular Palm OS so it does everything the Palm does, and more. Visor has Handspring's expandable Springboard expansion slot which lets you add entirely different functionality like a digital camera, universal remote, or MP3 player with a snap. It also includes USB synchronization with your PC, which makes it up to 4 times faster that the Palm m100's serial synchronization. More information about the Handspring Visor.
