Palm Unveils m515, m130 Color Handhelds


 WIDTH= A CNet article (“Palm unveils new color handhelds”) details the Palm‘s launch of the new m515 (US$399) and m130 (US$279). It will be interesting to see what the reviews are like – please add a comment if you purchase one of the new devices.

the m515 is an incremental improvement to the top-of-the-line m505, adding more memory and a brighter screen, while the m130 is a new mid-range color model similar to the m125 but with a 16-bit color screen. At $279, the m130 is one of the least expensive color-screen handheld models on the market, with Handspring’s aging Visor Prism model being the nearest Palm OS-based competitor. Like the m125, the unit has a Secure Digital expansion slot and universal connector.
