Amazon.com Product Description The lightweight, stylish Palm m500 handheld is expandable, customizable, and Internet capable. The Palm m500 has an expansion card slot for additional memory storage (up to 64 MB) and add-ons such as a dictionary/thesaurus, games, and more. The Palm m500 comes with all the classic personal information management tools you expect: Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Mail, and Clock. It has 8 MB of built-in memory, enough to store thousands of addresses, years of appointments, hundreds of to-do items, and more than 50 applications.
The expansion card slot is a dual-purpose slot that can hold two types of cards: Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard (MMC). Both types of cards are small, inexpensive, and easy to plug in. Much like computer diskettes, they hold information for upload or download onto a handheld. With them, you can instantly add software programs, e-books, large databases, graphics, or even video files to your handheld without sacrificing memory space.
Sleek and lightweight, the Palm m500 handheld has a shiny aluminum casing and is curved to fit in your hand. The display's enhanced technology makes it easier to see at all angles, in dim light, and in bright sunlight.
The new native USB HotSync cradle allows you to quickly back up and exchange information between your handheld and your PC or Mac. The Palm m500 handheld also features new vibrating and blinking LED alarms (in addition to the standard audible alarm) to help you stay on top of your busy schedule. The Palm m500 handheld comes equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery, which is charged using the HotSync cradle.
The Palm m500 handheld comes with Palm OS 4.0, which provides enhanced security and improved Internet connectivity. Other application features include Note Pad for writing sticky notes, Palm Mobile Connectivity for connecting to the Internet and obtaining e-mail via compatible cellular phones, and AOL for the Palm OS.
The Palm m500 handheld is PC and Macintosh compatible and requires a USB port. It comes with Palm desktop software for both PC and Macintosh. It has a one-year warranty.

worth the moneyJuly 26, 2010 N. Harris A nice, smooth transition. my data from the old product transferred almost automatically to the new application on my computer and then blended it (syncronized) with the new PalmOne. My old palm pilot failed but i still had the application running on my computer. It was an easy upgrade to the new one. the supplier provided a disc with software and instructions.
PalmOne m500 HandheldJuly 22, 2010 Mrs.B I wanted a simple PDA that allows me to take notes when I am out of the office but on call. This does exactly what I need it to do. The shipping was fast and I was pleased with the transaction.

The Palm m500 is great. The reason I got it was for reading ebooks on the go. I've looked online for the cheapest ebook reader and this is it. It is pretty old, but very reliable. It doesn't have many applications, but you can download a few online. I would recommend this product to anyone. If you intend on buying this though, I would also recommend you buy a hard case for it too. I dropped my Palm m500 not too long ago for the first time and, when I picked it up, it had several vertical lines spaced out on the screen. I definitely intend on getting another one though. This time with a hard case.

Basic PDA that has done what I needed it to do for many, many years (thought for sure I got it pre-2000s but Wikipedia suggests post-2001). If your needs are more utilitarian and you don't feel the need to buy the "Latest Greatest" every year or so, this puppy will do for you. I've got a handful of apps on it but would still consider it useful even without them. Get the "Kensington PDA Protector Hard Case Blue Ice Designed for Palm Vm505 M500" for it!
Haven't used it yet, but setup went very well.July 14, 2010 Don E. Oberg(Fayetteville, GA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Palm m500 was received in good condition, and I've completed setup. Haven't had time to use it yet, but looks like it will meet my "to do" list needs very well.
Very pleased with all purchase aspects.
