The entire Tungsten line is the same with the rechargeable, fixed batteries.
I agree about the decline of Palm. Pilots were small, simple, and functional, and that's what made them so good. Then they started getting bigger and more complex and/or complicated in order to compete with Blackberry in particular though they were facing competition from Pocket PC (a palmtop version of Windows CE), Zaurus and others.

I used to have a couple of Nokia "Internet Appliances", the N800 and... N770 if I remember correctly. Neat little devices. Bit of a shame that "proper" smartphones and tablets killed the concept, along with Netbooks.
