With the wireless card attached, I can browse the Internet and check email from the comfort of my bed and not bother Mariko and Bay. It powers on instantly and is almost as light as a paperback. I have a bunch of eBooks to read on it now, and because of the backlight, I don&#8217;t have to turn on the bedside lamp.<\/p>\n<p>I used to have a Palm III which I loved, but I ended up not using it. The problem was the batteries. It used 2 AAA batteries, but it was a hassle to recharge. When you needed to change batteries, you had switch them out really quick. If you didn&#8217;t, all your data would be wiped and you would have to sync with the desktop to restore it. This was a huge pain in the butt. I guess the new Palms (starting with the Palm V and up) have charging cradles which rectified the problem. My Axim also has the cradle which recharges the battery inside the unit, as well as a spare battery. The cradle is also attached to my desktop computer for syncing my contacts, inbox, and calendar, among other things.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/media\/blog_images\/20030903_totoro.jpg\" border=\"1\" alt=\"image\" name=\"image\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/media\/blog_images\/20030903_lain.jpg\" border=\"1\" alt=\"image\" name=\"image\"><\/p>\n<p>I downloaded a couple cool backgrounds for the today page.
