Three Perfect Palms

If you've been eyeing a Palm handheld, this may be the year to put it on your list. At just $99, palmOne's brand new Zire 21 handheld is an easy and affordable way to organize your life. For under $100 you get a sleek black-and-white handheld that can hold thousands of addresses and years of appointments. The Zire 21 was designed for the first-time handheld user, and can be expanded to add everything from holiday shopping lists and games to business software like Word and Excel.

If you prefer a brilliant color Palm handheld, then take a look at the Tungsten E. Another great deal at just $199, the Tungsten E uses the same advanced color screen technology and the same powerful functions as the more expensive handhelds. On the Tungsten E, you can listen to MP3 files, watch video clips and share your favorite family photos.

To keep organized nothing beats Palm's Zire 71. Last year's Zire was a $99 very stripped down entry level Palm, this years Zire 71 is $299 but it's got a lot more muscle, a lot more processing speed, more memory, but the secret weapon is a built in digital camera. www.palmone.com
