Consumers will find the newest PDA entry by Palm a refreshing surprise. It includes rechargeable batteries and a color transflective STN screen with high resolution (very comparable to the Sony Clie),  at an economic price. With the same universal connector as the m500 models you will be able to connect the newest keyboards, cameras, and other accessories for years to come.

The rechargeable battery lasts for about a week with normal use (about 40 minutes a day). Then all you have to do is pop it into the USB Hotsync cradle which will recharge the battery automatically.

The nicest feature with the m130 model is the amount of software included with purchase. You will be able to access Word, Excel, and Powerpoint documents with Documents To Go 4.0, display pictures and short movies with MGI's PhotoSuite Mobile Edition, organize your day-to-day life with Palm's easy-to-use date book, address book, and note pad. Also you can install an e-mail application if you choose to go online through your cell phone.

The biggest advantage of buying the Palm m130 and any Palm product in general is the extensive online support you can receive through their comprehensive database (Official site, which includes many downloadable programs). Also, 1 year warranty doesn't hurt either.
