Palm m515(discontinued)Introduced March 4, 2002, the m515 is an improved version of the m505. The m505 and m515 are some of Palm's most exciting product introductions of the past few years. What's so exciting? Among other things, the m515 offers color in a very small sized unit, and 16 megs of RAM-- a first for a Palm-branded PDA. Like its predecessor the m505, the m515 comes with a USB syncing cradle and has an MMC/SD expansion slot.
The m515 has a 65,000 color 16 bit reflective backlit display. Users compained about the washed out, dim display of the m505 and this model is a vast improvement. The screen is brighter and more color saturated- yay! The m515 has an internal expansion slot housed at the top edge of the unit that can accept SD (secure digital) and MMC (multimedia card) cards. These devices include memory cardsfor added storage, pre-loaded software such as Atlases and eBooks, and Bluetooth wireless network cards. Probably the biggest benefit is that you don't have to worry how much memory the Palm comes with, you can simply add more memory for storing applications and data by buying and SD memory card. Though for most users, the built-in 16 megs is plenty! The units are about the size of the Palm Vx, and maintain the Vx's svelt look and feel.
The PDA comes with a USB sycing cradle, and you'll enjoy the same fast Dragonball EZ processor running at 33 MHz used in the m500 and m505. (finally catching up to Handspring). The USB syncing bug that affected some m500 and m505s is cured in this model. Since this is a high end unit, you'll get a great software bundle, including Documents To Go standard edition for working with Word and Excel files on your Palm, MGI PhotoSuite for viewing images and photo albums, Pocket Mirror for those of you who want to sync to Outlook rather than Palm Desktop, and Palm Reader to read the many ebooks available for Palm. Original list price $399 US |
