The wearable Palm computer (continued)

Strap it on
You attach your Palm device to the Peel-It with a two-inch square piece of Velcro, which mates to a Velcro-covered pedestal. The size and placement of the pedestal on the Peel-It makes it more suitable for Palm III users than for Pilot/PalmPilot users.

You could probably cut the Velcro to accommodate the memory board door found on earlier models. My concern is that a PalmPilot might not be safe from harm when wearing the Peel-It on your wrist because the memory board door on many PalmPilot devices can work loose and fall off easily. Obviously, this is not a problem with the Palm III, since it has no memory board door.

All in all, the Peel-It is an "ap-peel-ling", useful product that is bound to get you a lot of interesting comments from your coworkers.
