Anyone know the rumoured colour Palm will show up? I really need a Palm and with the continued price drop of the IIIxe ($150 Can!), it's hard to pass up. Eight megs and rock solid.

That said, it doesn't look as cool as the V series. (unless there are metallic replacement shells for the IIIxe?)
I'll wait if it's a matter of one month, but not 2 or 3.

Thanks

The Palm IIIxe is a perfectly good PDA. If you can't wait to get a PDA, get it. Rarely do you need color. However, color is easier on the eyes than green.

So is the Visor Deluxe, especially at 199 after rebate currently. And ESPECIALLY if you have a USB mac.

On that note, I currently have a Visor Deluxe and like it a lot (especially when overclocked to 26mhz) but I need more storage. I'm going to wait until the end of the month to let everything shake out before buying a 8 or 16mb springboard. The M505c with its SD storage looks very tempting.

Yes, I can! I just talked to a customer representative of Palm and he confirmed me that these cool Palm505 pics are indeed real! The new palm will arrive after Cebit, that's end of march... jippie! :-)
