Palm m125 user and advice2007-03-25
I am satisfied with this product except for the battery usage. Turns out that in some of these units the 'ultracapacitors' were leaking and eventually were shorting out. Ultracapacitors maintain the device memory during battery changes. This leaking/shorting caused the following:
- immediate loss of data memory when batteries removed
- high drain of new batteries - sometimes only lasting 1 day in my case

If you are technically handy with a soldering iron, you can order 2 new ultracapacitor parts from Digikey (<$10) and solder them in yourself. I did this 3 years ago and have had great results - no loss of memory when changing batteries and new batteries last over 3-4 weeks with moderate use.
PERFECT!2006-03-28
The m125 is deffientally worth it's wieght in gold. At my middle school, there has been a Palm Pilot craze, and at the same time, I found myself wishing for something to help me keep organized. I tried a paper panner, but it was too bulky and heavy to carry around all day. I was just looking for a simple Palm Pilot and found the m125. It was PERFECT!

I love the m125! It is perfect for 13- year olds like me who just need something simple and nothing too fancy. The m125 is what I found to be a wonderful Palm Pilot. It has lots of expansion cards and I bought a games one, an eBooks card, and the E-mail expansion.

I also like the m125 because of it's size and price. I can tuck my m125 in my binder and carry it around with me. And I found it to be one of the cheepest, best working Palm Pilots i've ever seen.

But one thing, the batteries run out really quickly(like anywhere from 4 days to one week), and my family is getting tired of our battery "bill".

But overall, if you need a small, compact Palm Pilot, then this is you "Ticket". I highly reccmond getting a m125!
A Great Palm Pilot2005-08-26
I was given an m125 as a gift to help me keep track of my appointments. I found it to be very useful, and the one I had worked optimally. It takes notes, has a calendar, lets me make lists, draw little pictures, play some simple games... it's great. And if I use it normally without playing games much (just to save info, which is the main use for it after all) the batteries last a few weeks, and it's no big deal to back up the data at the end of every day, just like I would charge my cell phone at the end of a long day. (Make sure you always back up your data! It won't save it when you remove the batteries, but it's very easy to restore it at synch time once you put new batteries in.)

It's a great PDA... Palm is pretty awesome. Sure, there's always something to be desired - we always want more than what we have, but for the basic things, this is a great machine.

I really don't think it is fair for a few people to write reviews based on a units that are basically malfunctioning. I strongly suggest people ignore reviews like that. Before you pay for a unit, see that you have some kind of protection ahead of time, if you are really worried, check with your bank or credit card company first.
Palm, a Disappointment2005-05-29
I have been a user of PDA's for quite awhile. I have only owned Palm Pilots. The first one I owned worked fantastic, it was my life. I used it for appointments, directions, and a rolodex. It was my life blood. Somewhere, someplace, I lost that Palm Pilot. I figured I would upgrade and I purchased the new version M series. I got the M125. After awhile I could not set my time or date, I just could not press the lower left hand done button. I ran out of battery power and by the time I got back to my computer, or a drug store, for new batteries, the memory was wiped out. No problem if only I could set the date to coordinate my calendar with the true date. I looked on the web and found that it was a prevalent problem with the M Series. To replace the touch screen would have been $40.00. I purchased a fairly new M125 on eBay and sure enough, it had some issues. But I was able to set the date. I guess when I have the money to invest in a color screen like the Compaq unit, which I see is a flawless product, I will purchase it.

I don't think I would ever purchase a Palm product again.
Must be like the old Volvos2005-04-02
Remember when you were a kid and automobiles were less "consistent" than they are now? I can recall friends of my parents who had Volvos and either loved theirs or hated it. You either got one that worked well, or you got a lemon. My m125 is a lemon. My wife bought it for my birthday a while back and I made the mistake of putting off using it. By the time I tried to get it to speak to my computer (Outlook never happened), stop freezing up, move from one function to another, and just BEHAVE, there was no warranty left. It is a dog, with fleas. Customer Service sent a lengthy form tutorial via e-mail, that basically told me to "reboot". Fool that I am, I tried that a few times. My wife gets to stare at the world's cutest white elephant every time she sits down at her CPU. Her disappointment is palpable. The lesson, then, was two-fold. Take it out for a spin during the warranty period, or don't buy it at all. My own lesson will be to get a Dell.

There are many benefits to using a digital video camera. Some of the advantages that may send you to the store for your own are its compactness, its quality of picture, and its versatility.

Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!
