Palm rolls out M105
The M105 comes with 8MB of memory, compared with the 2MB available with the entry level M100. The new model also has a serial cradle for syncing with a PC, rather than the cable that came with the M100. Like the $149 m100, the operating system on the M105 is not upgradable.
The M105 also comes with Palm's mobile Internet kit, which allows the Palm (palm) to access information wirelessly by using a cell phone as a modem. Palms can either beam data to a cell phone's infrared port or attach through a cable if the phone does not have an infrared port.
The new model essentially replaces the Palm IIIxe, which Palm stopped making and recently stopped selling on its Web site. The Palm IIIxe most recently sold for $199. --Ian Fried, Special to ZDNet News
