Nope. Not sure I have a need for one. 
Heck, I just got a cell phone a few months ago. Don't really need that either but it's nice to have.

Its nice if you're gonna use it. My dad has one which he uses alot for remembering appointments and such and he likes it alot. I, on the other hand, like it for the games.

I don't know the names of them, but they're ok. They're the kinda games you get bored 5 minutes into them.

My cell phone will do almost as much as a palm pilot and it doesn't weigh as much or take up as much space. Kind of cool those things though, if you use them for what they are intended to be used for. Have fun!

Paul, my dad has a Palm m130, which he bought for $200 new. He said $60 bucks is a great buy and that you should go ahead and get it. The only game on his is hardball.

He's got a good one, I guess the m series ones have more memory so there can be more stuff. I don't really use the games, but it is just awesome!

I use one at work. It reads bar-codes, has net access, is an alarm clock, mileage tracker, low resolution camera, scheduler, phone-book, inmate tracker, parts catalog, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

About a grand each, our maintenance dept has 15 of them. They are tied into the Caver Moorehead preventative maintenance system we use.
They are one of those things that you wonder how you made it without one. The paperless office is cool and so far no one has become bored with them, the guys didn't resist the new tech as we thought they would.
Take 12 highly skilled maintenance mechanics with each having over 20 yrs experience in their respective fields, give them a portable computer, and you can expect some resistance. They were skeptical at first about being spied on, but quickly learned how to manipulate the data just like they did when we did it all on paper.
