Palm, Inc. today began selling the Palm m105 handheld computer -- an extension to the award-winning and stylish Palm m100 handheld, but with Internet connection software included, extra memory for additional applications and data, and a
stylish cradle.

For an estimated U.S. street price of $199, the Palm m105 handheld combines the simplicity of the Palm m100 handheld with 8MB of memory -- four times the memory of the m100. In addition, the Palm m105 handheld comes with connectivity software in the box, so customers can use a compatible mobile phone to access the Internet and check email. The Palm m105 handheld also comes with a removable faceplate, and 14 new colorful faceplates are now available separately in addition to the original five colors launched with the Palm m100 handheld.

Women and younger buyers were especially attracted to the Palm m100 series, expanding Palm's reach into new markets beyond its traditional mobile
professional customer base. "These new buyers immediately loved the innovative design and low price, making the m100 the fastest-selling product in Palm's history. And our research indicates m100 handheld owners are extremely happy with their purchases," said Byron Connell, vice president, Consumer Markets Group, Palm, Inc. "The m105 builds on that foundation and lets customers stay up-to-date with news, email and the more than 550 available web clipping applications."
