Submission + - Replacement for Palm IIIxe needed
O'Bunny writes: "Like the subject says, I'm looking for a replacement for my aged Palm IIIxe. It's got a marked-up screen, assorted damaged plastic bits, and is generally showing its age.
I use it to keep track of appointments, keep addresses, make notes to myself, and to play games on to kill time while waiting for stuff. I also use it as a metronome and as a basic tone generator. I don't use it to read books on, to write or read emails, browse the web, etc.
Other important stuff is reliability (I'm on my 3rd Palm only because I've worn out the screens on them), pocketability (a netbook is way too big), and decent battery life. Handwriting recognition or Graffiti would be good.
I don't want a thing that is combined with a phone (got one) or a camera (got one). I don't care about color, Bluetooth, WiFi. I'd rather not be tied to a specific vendor for applications."
