The Bottom Line	The m500 offers some nice refinements, but the older Palm Vx is a better value for those who don't need the expansion card slot.	The Palm TX offers a winning package of wireless connectivity, productivity tools, and fun for users of all kinds.	The Palm m515has a lot going for it, but it lacks a clear competitive advantage over Sony's high-end CLIEs.	The Palm Tungsten E2 delivers the sleek and affordable combination of productivity and entertainment in a package that should satisfy mobile professionals and consumers alike.	Palm finally has a well-priced handheld that can go toe-to-toe with Sony's midpriced CLIEs.
