01/01/2001 | I had a chance to fiddle around with one of these recently and actually came away with a pretty good feeling about them. Nice size, attractive design, and pretty capable especially considering they are significantly cheaper than the likes of a Palm Pilot or a Handspring Visor with some pretty comparable power. The one thing I wasn't very impressed with though was the optional mini keyboard you can purchase. It's small which is great but I found it to be kinda flimsy feeling and too small to really type with any speed or accuracy, it was like using a big pocket calculator but buttons didn't increase in size along with the rest of the unit. This is one area where the Palm Pilot really excels..their collapsable keyboard is very sturdy and is a full sized keyboard that folds up into about the size of a whole Palm Pilot, very cool.

11/02/2000 | A poor man's palm. Retailing at about $100, the DV# offers a relatively inexpensive alternative to the pricier Palm or Handspring products. However, be aware that you will only get 2MB of RAM, and it is my understanding that this platform is not compatible with all of the neat software available for the Palm and Handspring systems.
