Amazon.com Product Description
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. The Palm m500 comes with all the classic personal information management tools you expect: Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Mail, and Clock. 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. The display's enhanced technology makes it easier to see at all angles, in dim light, and in bright sunlight.

The new native USB HotSync cradle allows you to quickly back up and exchange information between your handheld and your PC or Mac. The Palm m500 handheld also features new vibrating and blinking LED alarms (in addition to the standard audible alarm) to help you stay on top of your busy schedule. The Palm m500 handheld comes equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery, which is charged using the HotSync cradle.

The Palm m500 handheld comes with Palm OS 4.0, which provides enhanced security and improved Internet connectivity.

1 out of 5 stars No support available   March 8, 2010
Shirley A. Hines (Spanaway, WA)
If you are running Windows 7, DO NOT PURCHASE this product. No support available as it is a product no longer supported by Palm. I have tried every resource I could find to resolve my Hot Sync issues with no luck. Really made a mistake by purchasing this item.


4 out of 5 stars Good Basic Tool   March 3, 2010
James Fitzgerald (Cody, WY)
A friend and I needed a way to carry large amounts of simple data without carrying books. We checked for PDA's, but the new ones were quite expensive and did all kinds of things we didn't need or want to do. This level of technology is perfect for this specific use. We can sit in class and look up information and specific passages in books that we've downloaded. We've worked with them for about 4 weeks now, and they are good, serviceable, and if they die in a year we're not out a ton of money. Highly recommended.


4 out of 5 stars Does everything I need it to do   February 17, 2010
Chris M. Sewell (Ralston, ne usa)
I bought this to help me do inventory at work, as well as to help keep track of my food orders from different providers, and so far I am very pleased with the machine. It does everything I need it to do and more. I was able to download a spreadsheet program that makes doing my inventory very easy.


2 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED   February 7, 2010
A. Nichols (MA)
I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, SHE LOVED IT BUT HAD TO
SEND IT BACK BECAUSE IT WORKED TWO DAYS. I LIKE THE FEATURES BUT
NOT SURE HOW LONG THE REPLACEMENT WILL LAST. THE SCREEN STOPPED
WORKING WITH THE STYLUS. BOUGHT THUMBOARD, WORKED ONE DAY AND QUIT.



4 out of 5 stars All the information you don't want to keep on your business Blackberry   January 24, 2010
Graybeard (San Diego, CA)
I had a vintage (legacy) Palm Pilot Professional which has outlasted several computers. Alas, my current computer is petulant will not talk with the venerable Palm Pilot Professional. Not wanting to store my personal information on my business Blackberry, and having no need for yet another cellular phone, I selected the Palm m500 as my solution. Renew Electronics offered it at a very attractive price. Unfortunately, the original unit provided by Renew Electronics proved faulty, but Renew Electronics rose to the occasion, offering several suggestions to remedy the problem and, when they did not work, replacing the original unit. The replacement works well and provides all the functions I need and more.
