SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 24 (Reuters) - 3Com Corp.'s Palm Computing division on
Monday said it began selling the wireless Palm VII hand-held computer for $599.

The Palm VII, which allows access to e-mail, Internet access, and instant messages, is
available New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It is expected to be available nationally
later this year.

Hundreds of content providers will provide Web content and e-commerce capabilities through
the Palm VII, including ABCNEWS.com, Bank of America, ESPN.com, Etak, E-TRADE,
Fodor's, Frommer's, MapQuest.com, MasterCard, Merriam-Webster, Moviefone.com,
OAG, TheStreet.com, Ticketmaster, Travelocity.com, UPS, USAToday.com, U.S. West
Dex, Visa International, The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition, The Weather Channel,
and Yahoo!.

The Palm VII will allow users to trade stocks, pay bills, order movie tickets, locate the nearest
recommended restaurant, get driving directions, local news and sports scores.

Internet access for the Palm VII organizer is provided through a new Palm.Net service that
will cost about $9.99 a month.

The organizer also uses Web Clipping technology, which extracts only a specific set of
requested information from a Web site.

The product was first unveiled in December, will soon face competition from a multitude of
"Web phones," wireless phones that also access the Internet.
