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.
