But this wasn&#8217;t such a good idea since Laurie then wanted to get a PDA, so we got here a Palm 500 for a good price at CompUSA and then using DualDate with my Palm III seemed like a much better idea since we both had the same handheld platform. Unfortunately, I&#8217;ve been having issues geting the two to talk over IR with each other. But bottom line is that I&#8217;ll be switching back to the PalmOS platform, even if I have to buy a 500 for myself, so selling the Zaurus on ebay seems like the right thing to do.<\/p>\n<dl >\n<dt>This is a ever-so-slightly used Sharp Zaurus 5500.
