The Palm IIIe is a PDA from
Palm Computing released in1999 briefly after the more expensive and more advancedPalm IIIx .It shared the same screen as the Palm IIIx, which improved upon the
Palm III 's screen by featuring a new enhanced and easier to readLCD . The Palm IIIe had 2MB ofRAM , which is the same as the Palm III. It had a 16MHzMotorola DragonBall EZ CPU , said to be faster and more efficient than the 16MHzMotorola DragonBall CPU found in all previous Palm models.The Palm IIIe featured an inverse
electroluminescent backlight that illuminated the screen text instead of the screen background. This same feature was found on the Palm IIIx. This feature was an area of controversy as many people disliked it while many others found it to be an improvement.Like the Palm IIIx, the Palm IIIe shipped with
Palm OS 3.1. However, unlike the Palm IIIx, the Palm IIIe did not have an upgradeableFlash ROM , instead using a permanent ROM. As a result of this the Palm IIIe had nooperating system upgrade path. The Palm IIIe was the only Palm III series model not to ship with Flash ROM.Later a Special Edition IIIe device was released, which had a translucent clear case.
