Palm M100 is a fantastic little device. Sure, your cell phone or Blackberry can do what it can and more. However, for those of us who want the no frills basic electronic yellow sticky pad, this item work great. It's able to do future callendars, which is cool. And the grocery list is a snap. No small tiny keys to mess with. Just use the stylus and handwrite if you desire. I have not downloaded games yet, but my old palm gave me hours of Mah Jhong pleasure on the train. This unit is capable of backing up your palm info onto your home PC. It has no color LCD display but for a basic small business tool, this item works great.
I finally entered the tech age of PDA's with this M100. It's sooooo easy to use - even I figured it out. Now I got one for everyone in the family. Only problem with it - when you change the batteries you will loose all data unless you remember to download/sync your data to your computer. I learned the hard way. LOL!! But I still love the little tyke.
I owned one when they first came out. I used it extensively for notes and appointments. I used the calendar as a log for daily information for work. After about four years of constant use it finally gave out. Since the advent of smartphones these little gems have gone by the wayside. There is a keyboard that is compatible with this and a couple of other palm units that I also used daily. It folded to the size of the palm and both were easy to carry around. The keyboard ran off the Palm's battery so no need for any cords or extra batteries. Having only 2mb (unable to upgrade) of storage greatly limits this little guy to what it can do; however, it is handy to have in a pinch for redundancy on important calendar information, not to mention the odd looks and comments you'd get when you pull it out of you pocket. Running on batteries instead of a charge means that it can go for weeks or months depending on how much you use it and how much you use the back lighting. Yes, you can use this in very low light and in the dark. Enjoy.Read full review

The only complaint is the ugly form factor. Although the same form factor allows it to be more shatter-proof than previous or modern palms - you can drop it. Would you drop your palm TX? Requiring 2aaa batteries and using them longer than the III series is better than buying a palm with a rechargeable battery that has been subjected to heat and many cycles in its life leaving only 1 hour of use. This makes all aaa powered palms still useful in the indefinite future as a EasyCalc, ebook, or vt100 platform.
People this thing is Excellent. I can keep up with my Notes, Keep track of my time, Store plenty of Phone Numbers and send Messages. i love this Palm Pilot
