PALMPOWER MAGAZINE - MARCH 2000

The colorful Palm IIIc
It's been one of the longest running questions among Palm customers: "When is there going to be a color Palm computer?" Finally, we have the answer. Palm is now shipping the color Palm IIIc. In this article, Senior Technical Editor Claire Pieterek looks carefully at the hardware and takes some quick peeks at new color software.

Heather compares all the new Palm OS devices
Our News Editor, Heather McDaniel, has been carefully watching the introductions of all of the new Palm OS devices. And there are a lot, if you count all of the Palm, Inc. machines, those from Handspring, and even from TRG. Which is right for you? In this important article, Heather introduces the new Palm IIIxe and compares all the models. If you're considering a new purchase, read this first.

A communications accessory to do BackFlips over
Sometimes the best solution to a new high-tech problem is to recycle ideas from outdated technology. Back in the early days of personal computing, a device called an acoustic coupler was used to transfer data over analog phone lines. With the advent of the Internet, email, and the Palm handheld computer, the good ol' coupler is back, and it's better than ever. Contributing Editor Jason Perlow gives you the skinny.

DateBk4 improves on a powerhouse
The Palm device's built-in applications are all most users need, but we don't all qualify as "most users." If you've ever wished you could view your schedule and to-do items on the same screen, display individual events in different type styles, or link records between applications, it's time to jump out of the "most users" category and dive into Pimlico Software's DateBk4 with PalmPower contributing editor Jeff Carlson.

Time management in the palm of your hand
If you think you already know how to get the most out of your Palm device, think again. Jason Perlow's review of PalmPlanning's helpful time management video will inspire you to get organized.
