I am using a Palm M130. It is color and has 8mb of memory. I could use more memory, but what is in there does me fine right now. With more memory, I could download ALL the caches in Arizona each time I go out on a cache trip rather than download which ones I want to put in there. That would save me some time in pre-planning. I have a web browser and internet access on it as well so I can check on a cache status if it isnt in my PDA for some reason. The processor is not nearly as quick as the new 400 that is in the new Palm Tungsten now. I would like to step to the Palm Tungsten C. It is a really nice unit. But, it costs a bundle too and I cant see spending that much on a Palm (nearly $500) when I have something that is working for me just fine right now! The M130 is getting a bit out of date now, but it still suits me fine and I will probably keep using it for as long as it works. It doesnt have all the bells and whistles, but it does the job!
