Free Swag with Palm TX purchase not worth the price of Free.

Okay, so we like Free, and you like Free, but that's no reason to just go crazy with the Free all the time.  For example, you can - right at this very instant -  buy yourself a Palm TX handheld PDA for $300 and net yourself some bonus gadgety swag... but would you really want to?

Fair where fair's due, the Palm TX is a pretty good PDA, probably one of the best on the market.  You get a bright, sharp 4 inch screen and 100 MB of storage for music, video, contacts and appointment schedules, the ability to remote-connect to your computer and even subscription-based streaming TV, in a sleek, WiFi/Bluetooth-enabled package.  The thing is, for a hundred bucks more, you can get a ton more memory, a touchscreen, and phone functions on a number of other devices, not the least of which being the iPhone.

Ah, but that's there the swag comes in.  If you're teetering on the edge of buying a TX, what's more likely to tip you in but... a stripped-down el cheapo companion PDA!  For Free!  Yes, Palm's offering the (also) three-year-old Z22 PDA with every TX purchase, plus free ground shipping, plus $100 off all AudibleReady gear.  Considering you've just theoretically bought the TX, the Z22 - you can organize, you can look at pictures, that's it - can really only serve as a gag gift for someone you don't entirely like.

Palm's offer closes at the end of February.  If you've already got a phone and simply need to get organized, you could do a lot worse than the Palm TX, and much worse than getting a SquareTrade warranty for it, maybe even with Accidental Damage coverage.

The Z22 that comes with it?  That might make a nice chew-toy for your Cocker Spaniel.
