Jirka writes[^1] of the Tungsten W and the
charging cable. The Tungstens, m130, and others
of that era used the Palm Universal Connector[^2].
These are plentiful and cheap on eBay!

On T|C/W cases: I have the OEM Tungsten case
by Palm, but I hate it. The "leather" is cheap
and it is already falling apart even though
it was new old stock. I should be getting
the Belkin Leather Flip case on Monday. I will
probably write in my twitpher what I think of it.
I have the Belkin Leather Flip Case for the Treo
90/180 and I love that case.

Jirka also writes[^3] of seeking opinions on the
Palm IIIc. I never had that one, but I had
coworkers that did at the time and I remember
that device fondly. The screen was not known
for good performance in direct sunlight. But,
neither is my UX50 or my Treo 90. Use while
at the grocery store will be just fine for the
IIIc, however. Using it with the PalmPix will
also be fine if you cup your hands around the
screen. The batteries are of course readily
available still online, and I would assume that
any unit you can buy would pretty much need its
battery swapped out.
