The Palm Vx (an upgrade from its predecessor the Palm V) was released some time in October 1999 and was manufactured by 3Com. It was protected by a Targus Slim Leather case. There is 6 different buttons to press and a digital display screen. At 114 grams, this was one of the lightest Palm designs. The item had many applications and features much like cellphones and had a rechargeable battery but lacked cellular capability. When it was first released, it priced US $399 ($520 CAD).
