Make Your Palm Pilot Match Your iMac With PalmColor

Correction: We originally posted this under a headline that said Palm Computing/3-COM was putting out the candy colored replacement Palm cases. This is not the case. PalmColor is the company making the replacement cases and they are in no way associated with 3-COM or Palm Computing. Our apologies to 3-COM and Palm Computing for the mistake. Thanks to Observer Jon Joaquin for correcting us on this! You can make your Palm Pilot match your iMac with a new product from PalmColors.
