Palm LifeDrive review
Integrated 4GB hard drive ; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ; doubles as USB drive ; plays MP3s with support for playlists ; lets you create slide shows with music ; sharp screen
Expensive ; battery not user-replaceable ; Web pages slow to load ; battery life and audio quality not up to par with today's MP3 players ; sluggish ; slightly heavy
There isn't too much the PalmOne LifeDrive can't do with its integrated hard drive, its wireless connectivity, and its multimedia capabilities, but it's way too expensive.
Last but not least, the PalmOne LifeDrive runs Palm OS 5.4 and features Documents To Go 7.0 for viewing, creating, and editing Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files and for opening Adobe Acrobat files. PalmOne's golden egg has finally...

PalmOne LifeDrive Mobile Manager
The Filofax years turned into the Palm years as people could now effectively manage their calendars while on the go.
Both can even run at the same time. Looking for and connecting to an available wireless network takes only seconds. Bluetooth has a 30-foot range, and connects easily to most Bluetooth phones
PalmOne LifeDrive, Front View The time is right, then, for palmOne to create a new category of device called Mobile Managers, which marry the calendar and contact usefulness of a handheld organizer with the massive hard drive of a music player....

Vast storage ; big screen ; excellent desktop and handheld software suite
Poor battery life ; occasional crashes ; no support for DRM media
Nearly-endless storage makes this a great device for toting and viewing lots of files.
The first PDA on the U.S. market with a hard drive, the palmOne LifeDrive ($499 direct) is a device that digital pack rats should love. PalmOne marries the LifeDrive's massive storage to a very usable set of software. On the desktop, Palm Desktop...

Photograph: Marc SimonPalmOne's LifeDrive puts almost everything you'd want from a notebook--document editing, e-mail access, and plenty of storage--into a package not much larger than a typical early MP3 player. At its heart, the LifeDrive is a...
