For a tiny little company in Iowa, they sure can build a great piece of hardware. The HandEra 330 is the latest unit from the progenitor of the famous TRGpro. With the HandEra's many features, and the honest-to-goodness best tech. support, I really...

I have owned several Palm PDA's, starting with the PalmPilot Pro (still have it), Palm III, Palm V and now Handera 330. I have decided to buy a non Palm Computing device because I believe that Palm has lost its way, and the competition has caught up or...

I'll start this review by saying that I had a TRGpro for many years, and it finally gave up the ghost earlier this year. Fortunately for me, just about the time that my TRG died, TRG (now Handera) came out with this--the HandEra 330!

Needless...

I was one of the first person to pre-order the handera 330, and when it came I was not disappointed. However, with use I became annoyed at the machine's large and bulky size compared with the palm m505 and the clie PEG-T415. It utilizes 4 AAA batteries...

An outstanding value. If you own Palm III form factor extras, they work great with this unit. 33mhz processor is plenty fast enough for even the toughest palm programs. Complete backup just takes less than 30 seconds and full restore is even faster. Handera promotes this unit as a business solution but it is the ideal unit for school bound students as well as every day joe's like me. I strongly recommend this product.
