The Palm IIIxe unit came in a black flip lid with an infrared port at top which lets users beam memos, addresses, etc.
The serial port can also support various peripherals including the PalmPix camera, and The Stowaway foldable and Gotype keyboards.
The IIIxe features a 16 MHz Motorola 68328 EZ Dragonball CPU, and is powered by two AAA batteries which can last up to a month or two depending on use.
It also features the same enhanced 160x160 pixel grayscale super-twisted nematic display area as the Palm IIIe and Palm IIIx, but with a 4-bit display (16 greyscales), 8 MB of RAM and 2 MB of internal flash memory for system upgrades and third party applications.
[3] Some Palm IIIc, IIIxe, and Vx units manufactured between October 1999 through May 2000 had a DRAM defect that could overwrite user data randomly.
