Palm's LifeDrive Gets Another Price Cut

For the second time in just a couple of months, Palm, Inc. has cut the price of its flagship handheld.

In mid- 2005, when Palm introduced the first Mobile Manager, this device cost $500. In January, this price dropped to $450.

Today, the official cost for a LifeDrive was cut to $400.

This move is sure to spark speculation that Palm is going to introduce a replacement model soon. Spring is typically a time when this company refreshes its product line.
