A new generation of the popular PalmPilot hand-held computer has hit the market. Along with the great features of the earlier version - including handwriting recognition and easy transfer of information to PCs and Macs - the Palm III, from Mountain View, Calif.-based 3Com Corp., has more memory (2 MB) and infrared connectivity capabilities.

The unit comes loaded with an address book, calculator, sophisticated calendar, expense manager, e-mail program and interactive to-do list. Packaged with it is a CD-ROM from MacMillan Digital Publishing that has a financial calculator, world clock, Web channel manager, drawing application, games and translating software that lets you transfer information into personal information managers.

Best of all, the new PalmPilot III retails for a reasonable $399. For more information, contact 3Com at (650) 363-0982 or visit the PalmPilot Web site (www.palm.com).
