Pricing

Palm-sized devices run in the range of $100-$500, depending on the features and memory you want.

Palm in particular has been slashing prices on its most popular models. For example, the Palm VII is now available for $450, already down $150 from its intro pricing in the spring of 1999, and the low-end Palm IIIe model is now available for $150 (matching the price of its hot new competitor - the Visor from Handspring).

Handheld devices run in the area of $400-$800 - again, depending on the type of model you go with.

If you plan on adding extra options, it will boost your price. For example, adding a modem to a palm-sized device will run you $130. And if you decide you can't deal well with a stylus only, expect to dish out $100 for a keyboard.
