Amazon.com Review

For the technophile who refuses to see the world in black and white, Palm has created the Palm IIIc handheld--a color version of the company's immensely popular Palm III handheld. Measuring 5.06 by 3.17 by 0.67 inches and weighing less than 7 ounces, the Palm IIIc handheld is one of the smallest and lightest full-color handhelds available. Its active-matrix screen produces vivid, crisp colors and is viewable from many angles in both dim and bright light.

While the color screen may be enough to dazzle many prospective users, the Palm IIIc handheld still performs all the functions of earlier models of the Palm III. It offers date book, address book, mail, to-do list, memo pad, expense, calculator, and security applications. Its built-in 8 MB of memory is as high a storage capacity as is available in any Palm handheld. To quantify what 8 MB capacity means, the Palm IIIc handheld can hold 10,000 addresses, five years of appointments, 3,000 to-do items, 3,000 memos, and 400 e-mail messages. There is even leftover storage space for databases, books, image viewers, and games, making the Palm IIIc handheld an ally to any serious PDA user.

Equipped with a HotSync cradle and software, the Palm IIIc handheld is ready for local and remote synchronization out of the box. You can back up or transfer data to and from the handheld and your desktop PC or Macintosh (special connectors required) in minutes. It's also ready for a modem (available separately) and the Internet with its TCP/IP software. The Palm IIIc handheld includes an infrared port, allowing you to beam data and applications to any other infrared-enabled Palm OS handheld or to connect to other infrared-enabled devices such as cellular phones, pagers, and laptops.

The Palm IIIc handheld runs for about two weeks on a fully charged lithium battery, which is included. The box also includes a synchronizing HotSync cradle and battery charger, a metal stylus, organizer software, a handbook, Palm's Getting Started guide, and a DB-25 adapter.

Palm iiic Handheld .......2007-05-13

Palm iiic Handheld is pound per pound the best PDA that Palm made-affordable- Good color- easy to get parts for repairs.

Very Pleased.......2007-01-11

Thank you for sending me the handheld organizer ,it work fine. And good service to.

Reliable.......2006-03-03

I've had this thing for at least 3 years and it just works. It does what it's supposed to and rarely locks up (usually because of some weird software I've downloaded for it) -it's easy to use, the battery has held up... I've dropped it on hard tile floors from 3 - 4 feet up and it hasn't broke yet. I have absolutely no complaints.

3 1/2 Years of Day in and Day Out Use.......2004-06-06

The Palm IIIc is by all accounts a dinosaur by today's PDA Standards. But there was a time when this was leading-edge PDA technology. Back in 2000, this was Palm's first entry into the Color PDA market (using a Palm OS). In fairness, the market and technology have truly now headed to pace where most consumers can't even keep up. However, if you aren't interested in having the latest/greatest technology, the Palm IIIc may be a true bargain if you are looking for solid PDA technology.

When Palm released the IIIc, it was based on the highly successful flagship PDA - the Palm III. It would contain 8MB of memory - back in 2000 this was very good. It also would make use of a lithium ion battery. No more battery changes - you could easily just place the Palm IIIc cradle and a AC Adapter would plug into the cradle and you could get a charge (and powering on a PC was not necessary). While the standard Palm III had a gray casing, the IIIc was more black. There was a rumor that the color display was a battery hog. I can honestly say in the 3 1/2 years I had my Palm IIIc, I never had an issue regarding the battery. It comes with a sturdy stylus. The OS that comes with the Palm IIIc out of the box is OS 3.5. I never bothered or had a need to upgrade it - it did the job just fine for me. I never had an issue with loading applications. I make major use of HanDBase and AvantGo and all the applications run smoothly with no crashing.

There are two issues I have had with the device. If you are buying this used - you should be aware of them. The first is the cover - the cover is plastic and is essential for keeping your screen clean and scratch free. Twice I have had the problem of a crack in the plastic on the hinge area. I had a heck of a time trying to get a replacement (see my next paragraph on accessories) - I eventually got one used and payed way too much for it on an online auction. That one then cracked as well and this time I resorted to superglue. The second issue is that after 3 1/2 years of use, the writing area has seemed to have worn out and my Graffiti isn't getting recognized consistently anymore I used the Palm IIIc everyday - several times a day. It got a workout, but I still expect that to last longer than it did. It was this problem that led me to upgrade my PDA.

Accessories are in general a consumer ripoff with any product and Palm IIIc is no exception. What I have noticed about PDA accessories - especially Palm ones is that they are way overpriced when they are being sold, but if you wait to long you can't get replacement parts. I thought it was ridicolous how difficult I had to look around for a replacement cover. If you buy this used, you won't have an easy time getting accessories and parts. On the positive side, I did wait and get a keyboard and Travel adapter that was being cleared out in a clearance rack at a rock bottom price ($30 for keyboard and $20 for travel adapter). Just another gripe here -why can't Palm (or anyone else) figure a way to let you upgrade your PDAs and keep all of your same accessories. I think people would be more apt to upgrade their PDAs.

One other note on the color display - it won't give you nearly the same pixel resolution that you can get on today's newer models, but it isn't all that bad.

Look out and you may actually get a great deal and get a lot of use. Ask a lot of questions on the condition of it if its used. I got 3 1/2 years of some of the toughest daily use around. I feel I got my money's worth.

Still a solid value.......2004-05-20

Great, with one caveat: *very* hard to find replacement batteries nowadays -- you will eventually need one. There is only one place I know where you can order it (cheap, only $35 for a lithium ion rechargable):
http://store.craytonelectronics.com/craytonelectronics/paiireba.html

This was the first-ever color PDA, I bought one of the first ones and used it to death. Finally after banging the heck out of it, I upgraded to a Tungsten, but the IIIc is great for anybody who just needs basic Palm functionality with a color screen.

An average camera, for emergencies.......2002-07-04

I bought this camera because I forgot to take mine to a trip, and it was cheaper than a one-time-use camera.
I already developed the photos I took with it, and they are just plain (I mean, the're not bad, but you won't say "wow!")... although the product is good, you can't expect too much of a camera under $[money].
It's perfect for kids, because of its colors and its simplicity. It also works with one AA battery... which is good also for kids.
The only thing missing in this kit is a stringed-cover for the camera... but it's a good cheap buy if you are in an emergency and don't want to spend too much money.

Product Description

They've been in movies and comic books for ages now. We saw prototypes as long ago as the 1964 World's Fair. Finally someone has done the videophone right! The VIALTA Beamer Videophone instantly adds color video to phone calls, using your existing TV and standard analog phone line -- with no additional cost on your phone bill! Just connect one Beamer station to your TV via RCA jacks and home phone via RJ-11 jack -- and give the second to someone you love!

Amazon.com Product Description

Vialta's new Beamer TV gives you the ability to instantly add video to phone calls using your existing home phone and television. Beamer TV works with any home phone (corded or cordless) over any standard analog phone line (one-line or two-line) to display full color video of the person you're talking to. All you have to do is pick up the phone, dial a friend or family member (who also has a Beamer TV or Videophone), and press the Start/Views button on the remote control.

Beamer TV is small, so it fits in narrow spaces; it is designed to sit atop your television. It has a built-in 0.25-inch CMOS camera that can capture full-motion video and transmit it to your recipient at 4 to 15 frames per second. Transmission speed is dependant on phone line quality and connection rate, as well as the amount of motion and detail being transferred.

When not in use, the remote control rests in a recessed niche so it's easy to find, and a camera cover protects the lens from dust and scratches. And, the Beamer TV has a skid-proof base to prevent accidental slipping and the need to realign the built-in camera.

Setup is easy--simply plug your phone into Beamer TV, plug Beamer TV into your television's RCA video jack, connect Beamer TV to your wall phone jack, and plug in Beamer TV's power adapter. There is no special wiring or equipment required, and no service agreement, so the only charges that will appear on your phone bill are those for long distance.

What's in the Box
Beamer TV unit, standard 25-foot telephone cord (RJ-11) x 2, 6-foot video cable, remote control, AC power adapter, user guide, warranty card

Videophone on the cheap--and it works as advertised!.......2007-03-10

If you're looking for an inexpensive way to get a videophone, the Vialta Beamer T.V. unit is the best way to go. The inexpensive unit works with a standard telephone line and a television set with video inputs. Make sure you don't use the unit with home intercom lines, for some odd reason my unit didn't connect with a distant unit.

Video images are very primitive here but they do indeed work. But be prepared for slow frames-per-second (fps) speeds. After you see yourself on the TV monitor (to center yourself, etc.), turn your "inset" image off because your actions are out of synch with your speaking--that is, the slow fps speed can be disconcerting, with a slight delay, say, when you move your arm around.

Even though this is not the ideal AT&T Picturephone we loved in the 1968 science fiction movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" it's never-the-less still exciting to see your family and friends while talking with them. The best feature is that you don't need a personal computer or broadband connection to communicate (thank you, Vialta!). The video signal travels on the same phone line as your voice. Just a lot slower than P.C. videoconferencing. And finally you can have a genuine videophone without bothering with user-unfriendly systems requiring an Internet connection.

Thus, older people who didn't grow up with the labyrinth-like operating procedures of today's Gordian Knot electronic gizmos will find the Beamer a lot simpler to operate. Beamer is simple in concept, simple in design, simple to set up and operate--this is how high tech should be! This product is a REAL invention that improves your life (not complicates it). Why wasn't it on at least one of Time Magazine's annual list of great inventions since 2004? From what I researched, Beamer has one a prestigious product award. The company needs to really get out there and show the world this thing!

So, if you want to start using a videophone today, get yourself a Beamer station! Hey, how can I invest in Vialta?! I love what they're doing.

Great product.......2005-09-27

My parents, brother, and I all have the Beamer and we love it! It gives us all a chance to see each other - including my brother's twins! We've had no problems in reception or any other issue! Great product!

Waste of money ... doesn't work........2005-09-27

First, the camera is very low quality. I have a lot of light over-exposure, even when the blinds are closed and a rainy day. Also (perhaps because of it) there are hardly any colors.

Second, the two units I bought don't want to exchange their video. I have been reading the manual over, and over again. We tried it many times, but the two units don't want to connect.

This technology is not as simple as Vialta wants you to believe it is.

Also, I noticed that a lot of units are being sold through Ebay - another sign that the Beamer doesn't work for most users.

And, Vialta doesn't have a forum in their website. To me that's an indication they have a lot of problems they don't want you to know about before you buy the Beamers.

My opinion ... a simple waste of money.

Blurry at best........2005-08-09

If you don't mind a blurry picture and really blurry when any one moves then this is for you! However, if you can get the people in the picture to sit perfectly still in is fine, but then that is just like looking at a picture. There is a delay and the ability to see anyones mouth move is random at best. We have it hooked to a good phone line and my son, who has the other one, also has his hook up to a good phone line. I can't imagine what you'd see if your phone line was iffy.

DO NO BUY THIS.......2005-07-08

PLEASE Do not buy this item is very bad because they tell you that it works and is not true i got it and did not work at all and them when i returned they keep 15% of the price so for that experiment i lost like $80 with S&H.
if you do not want to lose your money do not try it
