Palm IIIc Handheld Organizer
Long battery life, small pocketsize, colour screen. Pick two
for your pen-based
handheld computer. For the longest time, 3Com Corp. makers of
the Palm line of handheld computers has picked the first two
while it's competitors has picked color to the detriment of
the other two.
The Hewlett Packard
Jornada handheld computers does handheld colour best with
the capability of 16-million colours. But the device is bulky
and chews battery power like a dog at a roast beef buffet.
Now 3Com has figured out a way to give their on-the-go devices
all three features. The new 3Com Palm IIIc ($679) offers a 256-colour
screen without trading off size (they actually shrunk the device),
but in the process took away half the built-in rechargeable
lithium-ion battery life. The colour Palm's battery, which recharges
in its computer-linking cradle, lasts about two weeks with daily
regular use.
It's monochrome rechargeable counterparts would last up to four
weeks on the same power. Mind you, adding colour to a monochrome
device that is already beating its colour competitors is more
of a bonus than a necessity. The new screen is bright, the colours
are stark and it's a welcome addition to the Palm features.
The screen is not high resolution. You can count pixels with
your naked eye, but -- real estate agents, insurance adjusters
and grandparents take note -- the quality is good enough to
tote around digital pictures of properties for sale, smashed-up
cars and the grandkids.
