[edit] Palm Zire 72/72s

Model: Palm Zire 72, Palm Zire 72s (identical except for case colour)
OS: PalmOS 5.2.8
Browser: Novarra Web Pro 3.5
Wikipedia usability: very good for reading, editing and images
Problems: No UTF-8, can only be used with languages that work in 7-bit ASCII (e.g. en:)

I found this highly usable with Graffiti 2. Readable text, good images, editing is quite usable - David Gerard 00:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Logging into en: in Web Pro 3.5.

Editing the sandbox.

[edit] Palm Tungsten C

Model: Palm Tungsten C
OS: PalmOS 5.2.1
Browser: PalmSource Web Browser 2.0 [1]
Wikipedia usability: unusable.
Problems: Unreadably misrendered text.

Web Browser 2.0 is unusable because the text is horribly misrendered. This is terribly disappointing because otherwise the Tungsten C is a really nice portable WiFi device. You can buy an upgrade to Web Pro 3.5, which I assume will alleviate the problem - David Gerard 00:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
