You are right, the prices are the ones you get if you buy by Internet directly
from the Handspring or the Palm stores.
I think that buying these devices by Internet makes sense. I have bought my
PalmIIIx from Outpost.com. Well actually I was forced to, because last year
there was no Palm dealer here in Guadeloupe...
It depends on the tax system in your country. I don't know about Germany.
