Gold-plated Palm m505 spotted

If a device sells badly, manufacturers try to create “special editions” to stimulate sales.

Palm’s m505 was one of the worst Palm handhelds ever – and Oliver W Leibenguth now managed to get his hands onto the critter below:

He relays the following story:

Back in 2001, the MMS communication AG ordered 100 m505 in a 24carat gold plated case. Units sold for like 1500 Euros a piece.

Not much to add here…except that Oliver’s blog is totally worth following if for the pictures alone…
