Refurbished Handhelds Now Available from Palm

In a follow-up to the article we ran last month on refurbished devices being sold by Palm Inc., their website actually now has a few for sale. They are offering the Palm III for $100 and the Palm VII for $280. Neither are available new.

They are sold with a 90-day warranty and come in a white box with all the usual stuff: manual, CD, cradle, etc. They also come with Palm's reassurance that "Reconditioned handhelds are as good as new, cosmetically and electronically."

If you have been carefully watching the page we referred to in the first article waiting for some refurbished Palms to appear, you've apparently been wasting your time. That page hasn't changed and still simply says, "We are not currently offering any refurbished Palm handhelds at this time." Clearly this is no longer correct and you should move your bookmark to the new page.
