I know of several hikers who started out with Palms, then switched to the 
Sharp TM20 (6 oz) with Pocket Mail, mostly due to weight, and a much 
simpler interface (acoustic modem) with public telephones. Pocket Mail now 
has an interface for the Palm too. (however the modem is 5.5 oz on top of 
the weight of your palm)

All they were using it for was journal entries anyway. A palm is a bit of 
overkill for that.
