I had a Palm III Xe when I was working in the World Trade Center (the summer of 2001 - right before they blew it up)
As an organizer it was nothing more than a black&white rolodex. Back then, Wifi wasn't out and cellular phones with these functions cost well over $900.
I can't understand who'd bother connecting this thing to the POTS internet when it was designed specifically to sync with the desktop to get updates.
I have one of these (some other brand) lying around somewhere from when the Palm V was new. I used it once to check it worked, and then threw it in a box and haven't seen it since. My first (and only) impression was that it was a PITA keeping the IR port pointing at the modem.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
This would be hot news, and worth the money.. if it were 1997.
How do I spell "Slow News Day"? Palm III.

I fail to see how this is news.
