Full List of Winners

Zachary's Winning Entry
"There once was a rabbi names Zach
Who needed to get things on track
His Palm III was nifty
And now it's a 650
And he'll never buy a 'Berry' that's "Black!' "

Charlotte's 1st Runner-up Entry
"I'm hooked on my Palm 650
It's ever so cute and oh so nifty...
A phone and email there's so much you see
Music and reminders all for me.
Internet, dates and so much to do,
I can save everything, even pictures of you. "

"My name is Jim, and I'm a Palmaholic. It started out innocent enough -- a calendar entry here, a business contact there. Before I knew it that Vx was organizing my life. I needed more; a 650, yeah, that did the trick. It even entertains my kids. Give it up? Never!"

mooredreed
"Love my husband but sooo disorganized. Bought him IPAQ but I became hooked. Bought a Handspring to juggle work/kids schedules. On time thanks to alarms/phone#. Convinced boss to buy one for us all. Easily learned operating system-even for old ladies. Now have Treo 650-more room in purse."

shaindlin
"I got the Handspring Treo 300 as a phone. Then I realized it replaced my laptop, getting me through airports around the world without unpacking, exhibiting and potentially destroying a computer. Tuck it into the carry-on, and I'm off to the gate. Only now it's all on my 650. Nice."

The Major
"5-lb planners were my life. Fitting everything I needed and still working the zipper was impossible! A Palm Pilot III gave me the power! People told me I wouldn't...couldn't go paperless. They dared me to try. After a Palm V, I faithfully carry only a Treo 650 everywhere."

Barry Hoekstra
"I am a pastor who loads sermon notes and rituals into my trusty Palm. Members used to make fun of me--but the Palm has become so effortless to me they don't question it any more. I'm waiting for someone to ask me to beam them my sermon."

lazaruz
"So Palm is now 10
I remember back when...
Palm Pilot was aces
then Prism held my graces
Tungsten T hit the spot
but then Treo was Hot
Now I feel so alive
lusting for the Palm LifeDrive
10 years of my life
and it only cost me my wife!"

pdunbar711
"A true Palm junkie, I started with the Palm III and have had six Palm devices including my current Treo 650. I really miss having to use graffiti ...NOT! I've used programs to do everything from managing finances to tracking golf bets. A true productivity enhancer!"

profjonathan
"When the Pilot 1000 in J&R Music World got my Graffiti'd name right the first time, I was sold. When I completed an entire Star Trek TV script in MemoPad (in 4K increments), I was hooked."

smallfry
"Nervous conversion from pocket diary to Palm Vx in 1999. The Palm soon became indispensable. Fell into a river (The Palm not me) in 2002 and SURVIVED. I thought 'If only I could combine my phone and Palm'. Dream realized 2006. Thank you Treo 650. What a wonderful device. "

detective
"The Find function is just like Miss Wanda's Magic Magnifier from early childhood TV. Instantly I am a Do Bee instead of a Don't Bee. The icon matches her prop, but mine fits in my pocket and does so very much more!"

dynamojon
"I got hooked on Palm when I had scrounged up enough money to buy my first palm III which soon became a Handspring300, Treo600, and now a Treo650. Its simplicity and pragmatism helped my life become progressively more simple and pragmatic. Now I have more time! Hooray for Palm!"

Laxidasical
"I bought my first Palm Pilot back in 1999. There was no "learning curve", I turned it on and began using it intuitively without so much as a peek at the manual...I was hooked! Since then I've had a Palm IIIx, Treo 300, Treo 600, and Treo 650!"

Joel Wapnick
"I won the World Scrabble Championship in 1999, and bought a Visor, my first handheld, with a portion of the winnings. Ever since I've taken my Palm (TX currently) with me on daily one-hour hikes, snow or shine. I study words, take in the scenery, and stay fit. "

jskoog
"Being a Franklin Covey Planner user, when they offered the Palm system, I was hooked from the start. Efficiency, All Inclusive and Readily Available. At my age, I'm starting to forget one or two items through out any given day. "Hooked on Palm" is now my eighth habit of Covey."

macdaddy
"My life organized into my pocket. My pocket-size DayRunner in college evolved into my nifty orange Handspring Visor. No more paper re-fills! My Visor evolved into a VisorPhone springboard. My Visor evolved into my Treo 300. No more Graffiti! My 300 turned into a 600 then into a 650."

mboszko
"I got hooked on Palm with my first Handspring Prism-- I loved the Springboard slot, and it synced with my Mac, just like my Newton did. (Plus, it fit in my pocket, like my Newton didn't!) Since then, I've had a Treo 300, a Zire 71, and a Treo 650."

meir60s
"I was a paper-planner diehard. My co-workers teased me. My wife secretly entered me in a charity Chinese-auction for a Handspring Visor. I won! The box remained unopened for weeks. I finally opened it, and I was instantly hooked. I've gone VisorPhone, treo300, treo600, treo650. Bring on the 700P!"

UnoDOSTreo
"PALM - the Productivity Accessory for Life Management. From the Palm 1000 to the Treo 700, PALM has been integral to business and personal organization, creating innovative tools for communication and management. HotSyncing itself in rhythm of life, and placing the world in the PALM of your hands."

Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to everyone who entered our contest.
