For me the "classic" Palm is the IIIxe.
Still used standard AAA
batteries, but has 8Meg of RAM. Standard serial port for interfacing
with vintage equipment. The negative part is that it has no card reader,
but 8Meg is still a lot of space on these units.
As I've stated before, the Psion Series 5 trumps everything: full
keyboard, standard memory card slot, touchscreen, backlighting, works on
two standard AAs for about 40 hours (normal use, no backlighting), serial
port adapter cable, etc. Standard software includes web browser and
TCP/IP suite. I was able to find a freeware telnet client and, in
combination with my now defunct wireless internet modem, used to be able
to read e-mail off my server while driving down the highway (literally). Your Palms are silly toys.
