The new Palm m500 Handheld is designed with an innovative expansion slot that allows you to easily add memory, back up data, and take advantage of a variety of applications without sacrificing memory space. You can also use the Palm Universal Connector to add a portable keyboard, camera, or wireless modem to your handheld.Based on the award-winning Palm V handheld, the Palm m500 handheld features a sleek design and small size. For something so compact, it's loaded with powerful features, including new mobile connectivity software that lets you access the Internet and sends e-mail through your modem or data-enabled cell phone. Bundled productivity and business software help you simplify your life. And you can view all your information on a high-contrast display screen using the latest desktop software.
The lightweight, stylish Palm m500 handheld is expandable, customizable, and Internet capable. The Palm m500 has an expansion card slot for additional memory storage (up to 64 MB) and add-ons such as a dictionary/thesaurus, games, and more.

It has 8 MB of built-in memory, enough to store thousands of addresses, years of appointments, hundreds of to-do items, and more than 50 applications. The expansion card slot is a dual-purpose slot that can hold two types of cards: Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard (MMC). Both types of cards are small, inexpensive, and easy to plug in. Much like computer diskettes, they hold information for upload or download onto a handheld. With them, you can instantly add software programs, e-books, large databases, graphics, or even video files to your handheld without sacrificing memory space. Sleek and lightweight, the Palm m500 handheld has a shiny aluminum casing and is curved to fit in your hand.

PalmOne m500 Handheld Reviews
This also comes with a calculator, daily time sheet, 200 language selections, time, weather in 64 countries, web access, clip-board, cell phone gigatizer, daily planning book, and other receptive data bases that have little or no use. You can store all your giganton information unit, all you need is a DSV modem which is an infra-red pattern. This hand held thermal unit is great and if you want to look like a Star Trek crew member, I suggest you buy it.
I would purchase from this vendor EncoreCellular again. I spent a lot of time looking for a replacement Palm when mine died and now realize I should have just started with Amazon. I am enjoying my "new" Palm. Phoenix, AZ Sandra. It holds a charge for a long time and it fit my exhisting Palm cradle.
I bought a third at the end of the life of my second one and quickly realized that the technological world had passed the Palm Pilot by. It had always been a hassle to synchronize the device in its cradle, although it made me feel wonderfully productive when the process of "synching" noted all the additions, deletions and edits to my time and tasks. Carried me for almost ten years, with just a few crashes and technical problems and at reasonable expense. But support and replacements will be progressively harder to come by and expect dismissive glances from Crackberry users. If all you want is an electronic calendar, with a good task tracker, this will suffice.
After using the Palm500 for over five years, it finally quit. Fortunately was able to find new one on Amazon, it's like having an old friend back. Still the best and easiest to use and read of all Palms ever made.
I thought perhaps this was made back when Palm cared about it's customers, but looking at the other reviews here makes me think I just lucked out. BLEH. HOORAY. A friend gave me his old Palm m500 which he never used.
I've had no problems whatsoever with this thing, I use it mostly as a notepad so I've never had a need for all the bells and whistles that the current generation of PDA's offer. This also features a different kind of screen, one that doesn't require those stupid 'screen protectors'. As far as features go it's a total downgrade from the Tungsten E, but as far as reliability goes.this one shines. After throwing away my Tungsten E (total junk).
The m500 can go a week on one charge, compared to the Tungsten E which was begging for a recharge after one day.
