$99 Palm Zire

While handhelds already are widely accepted productivity devices, the Palm Zire handheld represents the first major introduction to mainstream consumers at the sub-$100 price point. The Zire handheld features Palm's classic personal information management features with an emphasis on value and simplicity. Everything you need to get started comes in the package; rechargeable handheld, desktop software for the PC or Mac, and cables. Entering information on a Zire handheld is easy -- write with Graffiti (Palm's simplified alphabet), tap the on-screen keyboard or type your information into your computer and then transfer it onto your handheld. $99. www.palm.com
