The Palm Computing Platform is a cross between your standard electronic organizer and a handheld computer. Alone, it has the standard memo pad, address book, calendar-scheduler, and a to-do list. But when you download applications from the Internet, it becomes a portable game machine, a spreadsheet editor, an electronic book reader, a dictionary, a pager, an MP3 player, a digital camera... the possibilities are infinite. Especially if you have the money. :-)

Even if you can only afford a few bucks for a Palm PDA itself, there's a vast array of downloadable free goodies. Check out the Quick Links to my right.

I don't have a lot else to offer, as I haven't learned to program for the Palm yet... but stay tuned!
