Unfortunately, the Stowaway is so popular that demand is outweighing supply, so you'll have to wait a bit for delivery. When you grow tired of typing, or you just prefer the sound of your own voice, check out LandWare's goVox Digital Recorder. This device snaps on to your Palm III in place of its original lid and acts like a mini tape recorder, recording up to eight minutes or 99 messages. But since it doesn't connect to your Palm, you'll have to input whatever information you record manually with a stylus or a keyboard. Now, not only can you write with your Palm, you can read with it too.
Prices vary depending upon the book.
For the frequent traveler, PocketMail BackFlip is a lifesaver, or at least an e-mail saver. You can then transmit e-mail, faxes and other text messages over the phone line. If that's not enough, visit the Palm site for their own accessories and downloadable software. Robin Raskin is editor in chief and managing director of FamilyPC Enterprises.
