Good balance of features

After 3 years of pinching grayscale screens I finally gave up. The m130's bright color screen is well worth the extra money. Compared to much more expensive models on the market (like the Clie), the m130 has the most readable screen. The lower resolution compared to the top Clie models hardly hurts and you save almost 50%. I guess the small screen size doesn't bother me as I got used to it from my previous m100. I've also considered Pocket PC devices, but they're three times the price and more…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Something different

Best PDA of the '90s

The Palm m130 is the best PDA of its time. And so far, modern smartphones seem to attract only new users, and it seems that this aspect is overstated. On the contrary, the m130 balances a love of hardware and software that only Apple can match with its products, and seriously, the Palm seems like the only computer that doesn't feel like a computer, but rather an extension. It's almost attractive. In a way, iPods with a steering wheel felt the same way. The flip-top lid with watch window, sturdy

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Good color wearable, good value for money.

I've had my Palm m130 Color handheld computer for about a year now and I have to say it fits me quite well. When it first came out, I was thrilled that Palm finally released a PDA with a color screen, which was just under 300 at the time. At the time, the m515 and m505, its competitors, numbered about five hundred. This is my first PDA and I find it very easy to use. While the manual that came with the m130 didn't help at all, I really didn't need it. Here are the pros and cons of the m130…

Pros
  • Good performance
Cons
  • I'll write later
