Lawrence Walner & Assoc. is currently pursuing
an action against Palm, Inc., the maker of Palm PDAs, for alleged
misrepresentations that models m100, III, V, and VII would provide
wireless access to the internet and e-mail accounts and would perform
common business functions including data base management, custom form
creation, and viewing Microsoft Word and Excel documents, without the
