I'm looking at getting a new wristwatch and saw this little toy and wondered if anyone had heard anything about it.

8 mb,old os,and big and clunky all for around $100.I don't think I would want one.

I can get it for around $25-$30.

I have no idea on the hardware/software, I made a fool of myself over on brighthand bc I said "last time I checked all PALMs used 8mb ram (16 if you spent a small fortune) and had a <200 mhz processor" Can you flash a PALM ROM like you can the axim? or would that make any difference in the end? I just thought it would be a nice way to keep all my contacts with me and amybe a book or two to read so I didn't have to use up my Axim's battery on lookin up phone #s and reading in dark rooms. Maybe a simple game for when I'm waiting in line at a bank or soemthing, very, very, very minor things.

for 25-30 get it if you really wanted it.

from what I remember, no touch screen, lower resolution than the low-res(so under 160x160 I think it was like 65x65 or something like that) but it did it's job like it says.

this is really a personal choice. I would do it

----------------------

oops, I was thinking about a different thing. for 25-30 DEFINATELY GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

is this something anyone can get at that price?

Sorry for not responding sooner, but it was an eBay auction, and at the last minute it jumped to $50 (yea, I know, it's a $100 PDA, it would still have been a great buy, but I dont have the $50 to waste, I cut off at $35)

Also, I decided to jsut see what it was selling for and I went to amazon and some other tehc sites which let users rate the products, and I was disturbed to learn the battery life on the thing is only around 12-18 hours!

I think I'll invest in a second or even a 3rd battery for my X51v instead, if I REALLY get desperate for an ebook reader with a long battery life (or easily changed AAA batteries), I'll get an old PALM3 or something
