Palm Tungsten T2
What reviews say:

'Even after loading all the applications that came on the supplemental software CD, our test unit still had more than 22MB of available storage space'

'the Tungsten T2 is certainly one of the most compact handhelds on the market, at 0.6" thick and 5.6 ounces'

'The T2 has changed color to a silver from the gunmetal/purple color, increased RAM to 32 MB (29.5 available to the user), increased processor speed, updated the OS to 5.2.1, and added that wonderful bright display'

'A button for the voice recorder and a stereo headphone jack are high on the left side.'

Palm m130
What reviews say:

'The display's relatively small size, 1.8 by 1.8 inches (2.7 inches diagonally), however, makes the m130 a questionable choice for business users.'

'It measures 3.13 inches wide by 4.8 inches long by 0.88 inches thick, not including the flip-down cover.'

'I like the color screen, I like the expansion slot, but that stupid battery is making the unit almost useless to me because I cant depend on it to have a charge after 8 hours'

'The display supports up to 16-bit color, but unfortunately, it is backed up by a horrible graphics system, resulting in a very low refresh rate.'

Palm VIIx
What reviews say:

'Setup is easy'

'the Palm VIIx still doesn't include Macintosh software or a Mac cable adapter in the box, so you'll have to purchase Palm's serial adapter ($15) or USB kit ($40).'
