Title: Life Drive great concept - poor software reliability
Product review: The Life Drive - with lots of disk storage - is a great product concept with extremely unreliable software. Unlike the Palm IIIx and earlier models with the rock solid Palm operating system and Graffiti handwriting recognition, the Life Drive frequently locks up and crashes. The Grafitti 2 software has very poor recognition (as well as being less intuitive than original Grafitti), runs slowly, and often cannot recognize "T" and "L". With an unreliable digitizing pad (which causes characters to breakup and be read as other characters), text entry is an exercise in frustration; on average characters must be entered twice. Mine is being returned for repair for the 2nd time in 18 months but it has never operated anywhere near satisfactorily.
