why has price gone up $100? I bought my Palm TX in Dec 2006 for $234. Now it's $334. What's up with that? Right now my TX appears to be dead, so I can't compare memory, etc.

The Palm TX and in fact the whole PDA line from Palm has been discontinued. However there are still plenty of people using the devises that don't want a convergent devise. So there are dealers that are jacking up the price. Try E-bay or a used unit from Amazon.

Thanks for the reply. My Palm spontaneously healed itself and now appears to be working fine. However, I didn't know that Palm was discontinuing the device. I have a Blackberry, but I do NOT want my phone/internet functions and my calendar/to-do to be on the same device. When one goes, they all go. Blech. I may have to give yield to the tide of technology. :(

I have no idea why the huge price increase, but I SURE AM HAPPY I bought mine in April, 2011, for $229.99. And, I am thrilled with its performance.Chuck

Well, it's an issue of supply and demand. The product is no longer manufactured, and New Old Stock - which this is - is in limited supply. Most of us who want or need this device will settle for a used or 'refurbished' one for a fraction of that $489.99 price, but sellers of the NOS item are asking the highest price they think they can get - and if you check around, you'll find that this inflated figure (roughly ten times its original retail price just several years ago) is in fact in the ballpark.

They removed the prices soon after I posted my warning that first day. ;) It was $549. The XP version is *supposed* to be $499 with a 6 cell battery according to the MSI press release. As for the battery - there are many reports of 6 cell battery shortages that may affect the first shipments of Winds. We don't know yet for sure. But the first shipments of Win XP Winds may only have 3 cells. If true, the price should be LOWERED to reflect the smaller battery. Not raised to fleece impatient buyers.

And now 2 years later, that Fuji abandoned the "faster chip" for the megapixel race... this sucker is getting more expensive. I got it for 220 with rebate in Oct. 06, now offered at $800?

I agree, I was thinking of purchasing this model myself and the price went up as you clearly stated overnight. Amazon's loss! Jason, have you heard when the "B" model will be available?

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

Ugghhh, The opportunists have raised the TX to $500+ for a new unit which just means an unopened unit. I was looking at netbooks but the smallest is still 3lbs+. It does all the TX does and then some (movies on cards, wifi, browser, key entry...) but it's apples and oranges since these are just micro-laptops instead of PDA alternatives.Have any of you tried other brand handhelds? Can any owners put in their 2cents for comparison?

Amazon just raised the price about $80. Must be because it's out of stock. I don't think I'll buy it now.

Hi Terpsichore, to be honest i dont know, but my guess is that the 4GB one has been discontinued, and when that happens the price goes up. Just buy the one that's best for you and your pocket. DONT BUY THE 4GB Please. :) Hope it helps.

I have used both the old handspring Treo (before it was a phone) and the Dell Axim. I would recommend the palm hands down. I am actually online now to buy the new TX since my Axim is dying slowly. I am looking forward to the extra memory because evene with a 2 GB memory card in my Axim it still can be slow as molasses.Nanette Clapper

Mine old one lasted two years. Then had to wait a painful couple of months until Palm restocked them. My new one is now two months old - here's hoping. Centro reviews were not that great. Rumor mill has Palm coming out with a brand-new line - hopefully to include a PDA. I could not find the Z22 at the palm site today!

I just looked this tablet up yesterday 12/30/14 and the price was $249.00 new. I put it in my cart to purchase today 12/31/14 and now its $269.00!. In the meantime I was doing some research and found the same tablet at several locations locally for $249.00 My question is why the increase and second looks like I'm going to purchase locally! What a bummer for Amazon.

You were happy to buy it for the price you paid, but are unhappy other people get it cheaper???If you didn't want to pay the price you did, you could have waited knowning that the price of all technology drops. The rumours were out there as well - you just needed to do some searching.Would you have been grumpy if they waited another few months? If not, you should ask yourself if those extra months are the difference between you being happy or being angry.

Why have these jumped $100? Yeah, they are discontinued but the replacement model are close to $200 also. What's the deal?
