Hi all,

I'm considering getting a palm (as I understand it they are the most agreeable with macs)...I'm trying to decide which one. Most important to me is the wifi- the tungsten C comes with it and right now on palmone's website they offer a free wifi card with the T5. Any suggestions or do you have any of these?

I don't know much about them, but am researching buying one myself and the best one that Palm makes right now is the Life Drive. It does have a big pricetag at approx $450 but has everything you need and then some. However, if cost is a big issue I would definately be happy with getting the T5, good luck choosing 👍

Bump....does anyone have a lifedrive?

Hello
A LifeDrive is definitely a cool device. I haven't seen one yet. It apparently is much more than most of us would need as far as day-to-day activities. The Tungsten would probably be enough for you, but if you want some bling I'd go for the LD.

regards,
Leo

I still can't reason why palmOne ditched the Tungsten T3. I was going to buy one, but was forced to buy the T5 after the T3 was discontinued.

From my experience, neither a Palm nor a Pocket PC works well with a Mac out of the box. It's kind of frustrating that way. Besides, Palm handhelds leave a lot to be desired. All I ask for is WiFi without carrying a brick around in my pocket...

Check this out: MacintoshPocketPC.

It's a program that helps synchronize a Pocket PC to a Mac.

From my experience (I've owned palm devices since the original Palm Pilot 1000 with 128 KB, then a Handspring Visor, then a Garmin iQue, and now a Treo 650), Palm devices works just fine out of the box with both Windows and Mac computers. With Apple releasing iSync 2.0 with a Palm conduit built-in, you don't even need the Palm Desktop software anymore.
