$100 Rebate on Palm VIIx
On Thursday, Palm launched a $100 rebate on the $400 Palm VIIx when signing up for the Palm.Net service. Just purchase a VIIx between now and the end of the year, subscribe to a Palm.Net service plan, then complete an on-line rebate form, and they'll credit your account after the third month of service.
Palm has avoided heavily marketing the VII series until now because of component shortages. Those are easing, however, and Palm is clearly ready to start seriously pushing this wireless model.
Palm offers three different service plans. The Basic Plan costs $10 a month and allows 50KB of downloads, which is approximately 50 screen views. The Expanded Plan is $25 and offers 150KB. There is a charge of 20 cents for each additional kilobyte for both these plans. They also offer an Unlimited Volume Plan for $45.

RE: The problem is...
Sure, there are folks that want more... but the main target audience is really pretty satisfied with the nice small package. Even Palm's own Mobile Internet Kit, while it works and is nifty... is a tough sell next to the all-in-one box that is the VIIx.... especially if all you need is access to your e-mail.

RE: The problem is...
I am capable of FULL BROWSING (black and white, but still full) and seeing PICTURES on my "simple" palm device.
Microsoft says palms can only do text browsing. That is lie #1. I can see any picture.
Microsoft says palms can't enter most website. Its a lie, I can enter 90% of the sites out there.
And with ms agent, I can send/receive mail.
I don't see pocket pc's advantages!.
But I insist that palm is stupid to release 2 new palms (IIc, M100) that will have a 1 year life span.
RE: The problem is...
You can find a PQA for just about anything you could want. Proxiweb can give you a decent web-browse experience. The network is *far* more stable than other wireless networks I have had the misfortune of working with.
The Palm VII series works. You can find more "feature packed" devices, but this Palm delivers.

The problem is...
Including proxiweb, ms agent (much better than multi-mail) and giving the VII the possibility to use a regular ISP (is that possible?) would make it the bomb.
Having to pay for a new wireless ISP and being limitied to web clipping make the VII an expensive IIIxe with an antenna.
