connectivity to address what campus networkers want most in a handheld.(2) It is Palm's first device to ship with integrated
Wi-Fi, or 802.11b, for wireless campus connectivity. It offers 64MB of memory (51MB usable) to manage data-intensive
applications; 400MHz of ARM processing power; and integrated, full-featured business applications, such as VersaMail™ 2.5
