Pros: Expansion Slot, Reasonably Priced Color, Updated Palm OS, New Apps
Cons: Needs An Enhanced, Brighter Color Screen Without Sacrificing Battery Life
The Bottom Line: State of the art. The only "fault" I can really find is the brightness of the screen and I suspect that was a tradeoff for longer battery life.

Pros: Screen darn it! Size. Color. Expansion. Price darn it!
Cons: Requires you to be relatively smart to make it work properly.
The Bottom Line: Read it, it's a rant about why I believe certain aspects of this Palm that have been argued against are so darn good.

Pros: Size, scalability, battery life, price, Sleek look
Way cheaper than 515 or Pocket PC
Cons: Screen could have adjustable brightness
Basic colors are a bit washed out
The Bottom Line: Pocket PC's have a long way to go in making them an efficient user platform. Palm's are unique and appreciate its simplicity and scalablity to your needs

Pros: Slim; Palm OS; Reliable; Cool-looking; Mac Friendly
Cons: Screen could be brighter; Need more memory; Not compatible with Palm V accessories
The Bottom Line: Good unit. Go buy one. If you are a Mac user, you're better off with an m505 than a Sony or Handspring.
