Palm IIIc v Palm Vx
Jason De Mullich
I'm sure that this has been asked before, so please refer me to amother post
(but I couldn't find one)
As far as I can tell the Palm IIIc and Palm Vx are identical except for the
IIIc has colour ?
Also does the colour in the IIIc affect the avaialble memory ? Or is this
memeory (8mb) dedicated to storage and the graphics etc driven by it's own
onboard memory ?
Thanks
Jason

Except the different shape, weight and the above mentioned, yes!

Color Apps use more mem of course, e.g. Ancient Red uses 700k for the B&W
and 1.6M for the color. Each Pixel now "consumes" 1 Byte instead of a
nibble.
But for normal Apps you won't see a difference.

The IIIC is 0.7 inch thick, whereas the Vx is 0.4 inch thick.

One more difference, actually: the Palm V's hotsync connector is different
different than the III series, which means there are some Palm accessories
(such as the camera) which you can't use on the V -- this isn't a big
issue because most hardware manufacturers come out with a version of
their product for each device series.
Cheers,

Vx uses a 16mHz cpu the IIIc has a 20mHz cpu, AFAIK, although I find my
Vx snapier than my old palm pilot pro 1meg

Wrong. Vx uses 20MHz same as IIIc. The V uses a 16MHz clock by default.
The IIIc will be sluggish because it is dealing with more graphics data.
Non-
graphical functions will be running at same speed as a Vx.
