It is nice and small, and is great for work. This will become your new friend. And best of all it is cheap to buy. It is also great for kids because you can download games from the internet and have fun playing those.

I use my m130 for work. I am a an RN, and I have been able to use my expandable memory for many programs. I don't want to watch movies on my PDA, so why spend an extra $150 for 8 mb of internal memory when I bought 32 mb for $40.00?
