The PS-6560i replaced the earlier PS-6500 within one year. The changes are minor:

Using the PS-6155 Dock-station cradle to synchronise 
data was optimized.
The display of the organizer supporting 4 lines by 24 characters was 
enhanced with a greenish backlite feature called Indiglo.

The LCD screen of the PS-6560i displays onle 4 lines by 24 characters. Unfortunately the characters are difficult to read. Compare it yourself with the crystal clear letters of the PS-6700.

Everything else of the PS-6560i seems to be identical with the PS-6500. It took another year until the PocketMate 200 appeared with a better keyboard layout.

The PS-6460i and PS-6360i got smaller memories.
