Here's a list of the reviews so far...
Bargain PDA
- "A unique high-end model with a lot of features, some trade-offs, and a big price tag."
MobileTechReview
- "A bold new offering, that goes for a different kind of convergence."
PalmAddict
- "If you want memory storage then this is the Palm device to go for many of people are going to say well I can just get an SD card to go with it and that is fine you are entitled to your opinion on that but for me I am going to say if you want Wi-Fi, if you want Bluetooth, if you want a high storage capacity and you want that in the one device Life Drive is your man."
Dave's PDA
- "
While the biggest feature to the
LifeDrive is the 4GB hard drive, there is a lot more to the hardware of
the device than just the embedded hard drive."
Pocket Factory
- "So far I'm pretty impressed with this product.
..
While this device may not have an immediate impact on developers, it could be a significant catalyst in the coming year."

Part II
- "After my first 12 hours, I can say that I'm impressed and eager to
explore more of what the LifeDrive offers. As palmOne's most expensive
PDA, I think it's worth a closer look before you plunk down all that
cash."
Infosync
- "
The palmOne LifeDrive is a jack of all trades, and as is often the case is therefore king of few."
The Gadgeteer
- "My Treo 650 has a slower processor (315mhz), but feels much snappier than the
LifeDrive with its 416mhz processor."
Palminfocenter
(May 22, 2005) - "
palmOne new flagship handheld is a handsome PDA. It is loaded with
features and has massive amounts of storage to spare making it an
exceptional portable media solution with a huge base of applications to
choose from. With the addition of the hard drive and dual wireless,
this model may be the best laptop replacement PDA's out there."
Solo Media
(Jeff Kirvin) - "
I will say that the early negative reviews in the New York Times and
BargainPDA were certainly
reviews of unfinished, pre-release units. The
CompUSA demo I tested (btw, word is that despite recent retrenching in
PDAs, Best Buy
will
be carrying the LifeDrive) was much faster and displayed none of the
issues I've seen cited in reviews. It looks like PalmOne (soon to be
just Palm, Inc again, but that's another article) has a potential hit
on their hands."
MicroMagic
- "I've had my new LifeDrive for about thirty hours. It's a remarkable device -- not perfect mind you -- but it's quite a little machine."
Thanks to Franco at the treo Yahoo Groups.
The Unofficial Mac Weblog
- "Overall, this looks like it will be a good Mac-companion PDA. There were no major bits of incompatibility."
