                                    Introduction
       |===================================================================|
       The LifeDrive is a Palm OS-based handheld personal digital assistant
       device that was produced by PalmOne, a former incarnation of Palm,
       Inc. The device was PalmOne's first and only foray into the "Mobile
       Manager" device category. As its name suggests, Palm intended the
       LifeDrive to be capable of providing all the capabilities and data
       storage space that a user could possibly need during the course of the
       day, including contacts, calendar, music, images, video, and
       applications. At the time of release, the 4-gigabyte capacity that was
       chosen for this task could not be achieved using the flash memory used
       by most PDAs, while keeping the cost of the device low enough for
       consumer purchase. For this reason, a 4 GB microdrive hard disk drive
       was selected for the task. It featured a separate data partition that
       could be used as a portable disk drive. The LifeDrive featured
       Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, the first Palm handheld to feature
       both. The device came pre-loaded with eReader, Documents To Go, and
       WiFile software.
       
       The hard disk used in the LifeDrive was selected by Palm for its fast
       spinup speed, but delays in application launching were inevitably
       longer than with flash-based handhelds. Many speed concerns were
       addressed with a user-applicable ROM

       update], which was released by Palm in December 2005. One of the first
       troubles for the Life Drive was when it was taken off of United
       Kingdom shelves because the device fell short of EU regulations on the
       use of hazardous materials. Finally, due to its high price, slower
       performance than other handhelds, and advances in flash memory which
       led to reduced prices and greater capacities, the LifeDrive did not
       fare well in the market, and was discontinued on January 31, 2007.
