$499 for a PDA? Are we in the late 90s?
Actually no, the Palm LifeDrive is almost a laptop replacement with native support for Word, Excel, Powerpoint and PDF files. Being able to go over presentations in the airport or working on your budget spreadsheet while sitting in traffic (not recommended) is not all the LifeDrive is good for. The LifeDrive has Bluetooth 1.1 and 802.11b built-in for wireless access which allows you to grab mail if you can find a hotspot among other capabilities.
With 3.85 GB of usable storage you can keep a year’s worth of email, 1200 Powerpoint presentations and thousands of Word documents. You can also use the built-in expansion card slot to expand the memory capabilities further.
Welcome to the world (well, the US) of microDrive PDAs!
