As soon as you press the Power-on button on a color Palm-size PC device, the first major benefit of having a color screen is brought to life. Menu buttons and tool bars are clear to the eye, making it much easier not only to navigate the Windows CE interface but also to view and input information into applications such as Contacts and Calendar. For example, color Palm-size PCs allow you to accomplish the following tasks speedily and efficiently:
As an additional advantage, color is a huge boon to people like myself who sometimes find it hard on their eyes to read content presented in grayscale. That's one of the main reasons why I will often use my HP LX620 rather than my Everex Freestyle, even though I much prefer the convenience of pen input and the Palm-size PC form factor. I'm sure that many other people will feel the same way, too. i.) Looking up a Telephone Number in the Contacts application One of the most common uses for Palm-size PCs is looking up a telephone number, fax number, or address using the Contacts application. Finding the name of the contact you are looking for in a crowded Contacts list is fast and convenient with a color display. 
It's also very easy to view the telephone number or other information you are looking for in the Contacts dialogue box. 
ii.) Inputting New Contact Information into the Contacts Application Inputting information about a new contact in the Contacts application is fast and easy on a color Palm-size PC. The black text is much easy to distinguish against the white background of the dialog box - so no more inputting the wrong phone or fax numbers! 
iii.) Viewing Complex Calendar Information such as your Daily, Weekly and even Monthly Appointment Schedule Color comes into its own when you are viewing complex and crowded Calendar information such as your daily, weekly and even monthly appointment schedule. You can look over your schedule at glance whenever you need to confirm the timing of a proposed new meeting or appointment.
iv.) Reviewing your Task List in the Tasks Application Just as with the Calendar application, color does an excellent job of showing more detailed information, such as a task list, and highlighting important items. 
v.) Adding a New Action Item into the Tasks Application Adding a new action item into the Tasks application is quick and convenient. You can also clearly view any notes you have included about your task. 
vi.) Writing a Memo using the Note Taker Application Color Palm-size PCs make Note Taker a much more pleasurable application to use for both inputting and viewing text in memos and other documents. You can even highlight important points in your document through the use of color. 
vii.) Drawing a Color Map using the Rich Ink Feature in the Note Taker Application The Rick Ink feature in the Note Taker application also comes into its own with color. Maps and other simple drawings can be displayed much more clearly -- a definite advantage when you are trying to follow directions when driving a car.
