Our local council operates free WEE (Waste electronic equipment) kerbside collection on our Black (non recyclable) days. You leave it loose on top of your wheely bin, not in a bag, and they put it into a different compartment on the lorry.
So I'm walking back from the Swimming pool with my 8yo boy yesterday afternoon. Minutes before bin collection and my neighbour has put out for WEE a 2004 PalmOne Zire 31 PDA. With the case, power supply and docking cradle. The geek in me couldn't walk past and we rescued it.
It's pretty crap. No integrated WiFi, modem, or camera. The graffiti 2 handwriting recognition takes some getting used to. I imagine that with a cradle connected to your PC it syncs everything. A nice distraction for 10 minutes but ultimately will be in a shoe box in the attic from now to eternity.
Wee = Free?

Ah, a blast from the past! The Palm Pilots morphed into those I believe.
They were pretty good back in the day.
It used the sync the usual calendar, contacts, to do, apps and some emails (inbox?)
