m300 Rumors Might Be False Posted by: Ed on Tuesday, February 27, 2001 9:46:50 PM According to a Cnet article, recent rumors of an m300 model to replace the IIIxe aren't true. Instead, Palm is going to release the m105 at $200 with 8MB of memory and a cradle, alongside the $150 m100 with 2MB and no cradle. The m105 won't have flash ROM, meaning that its OS can't be upgraded. Just citing "sources", the article says that the m105 will be launched any day now. A Palm representative declined to say anything about the new model but did confirm that the IIIxe has been discontinued. Until now, the consensus of rumors was that the m105 would replace the m100 at $150, with the m100 being phased out or possibly dropping to an even lower price. The m300 was believed to be a totally redesigned, larger model, though not as large as the III series, that would have 8MB of memory, an upgradable OS, and sell for about $250. If the Cnet article is correct, these rumors have been totally incorrect.
