Conclusion
I do like the PalmPix, though I was disappointed with the pictures taken in low-light conditions. If you have the right lighting, the pictures are certainly good enough for most Web sites or for emailing to friends and family.

Although the PalmPix unit itself is sturdy, for $179 it should have come with a slipcase or flip-lid, so it could be tossed into a briefcase or handbag without fear of lens damage. Most Palm device cases don't have room for something like this. Kodak does offer the PalmPix Portfolio Case for an additional $39.95.
