A miracle in the palm of your hand

Advantages: Small, light, very well featured
Disadvantages: Blue paint around the edge rubs off

...purposes. You can use the Palm Desktop supplied on a CD with the PDA or simply synchronise with Microsoft products. It’s as easy as plugging the USB cable in and pressing a button on the PDA. Far easier to set up and use than the old cradle system. The inbuilt calendar has proved its worth on many occasions, saving me from embarrassing lapses of memory and the amazing ability of this tiny unit to read, display and allow editing of Excel format spreadsheets ...
...You can use the Palm to create audio notes or voice memo’s. Turn on, press a small button on the side and talk to it. Releasing the button stops the recording and you can play it back later at your leisure. You can do this as many times as memory allows, pressing the button creates a new recording each time. A small, easily available memory card can be fitted in order to expand the available memory of the device. The Palm has locked up on a couple ...

Boy what an upgrade

Advantages: Light, Great screen definition
Disadvantages: Paint rubs off and looks tatty

...The unit runs Palm OS Garnet (5.2.8) and has 32 megs of RAM, 24 of which are available to the user. The unit is Bluetooth compatible and its possible to connect to the internet either via your bluetooth mobile phone or via a bluetooth dongle or accesspoint. We found the bluetooth wireless access point to be far superior to the dongle as it gave a faster connection. The only downside is that compared to a PC the palm is relatively slow making a ...
...pictures and information from your mobile phone and you can also download digital pictures from your pc. With the accesspoint it can also be used to download your email though you need to buy a separate program to do this (there are some freeware programs but they are a bit basic) The camera is acceptable. The colour balance is pretty poor but you can have some fun taking quite detailed pictures at a distance. It's ok for record keeping pictures ...

Palm Zire 72, my new school planner

Advantages: Cheap, Fast, Not a windows wannabe, digital camera built in!!
Disadvantages: not that many programs available

The Palm Zire 72, the powerful PDA for those on a budget. I use it all the time in school for keeping an eye on timetables, meetings, clubs and homeworks set. It has a simple menu system and fantastic hand writing recognition. It does truely put Pocket PC systems to shame. I borrowed an Ipaq H5555 for an evening to compare to this Palm Zire and have to say that it was slower and a lot more bulkier than the Palm. Yes it does have wi-fi but i don't ...

Probably the best colour screen ever on a PDA?

Advantages: looks good - colour screen - great features - mp3, camera, memory expansion
Disadvantages: battery life, no headphones

...you use them!) * Palm OS sofware * Digital Camera (quailty is just below what you would expect from a sole digital camera - but it is much better outside) *32meg of on board memory - but there is an expansion slot of the SDRAM cards, mine has a 128 meg card in it and it runs beautifully with mp3's and video on it. * Bluetooth connectivity (no wireless LAN but most phones and computers support bluetooth now anyway) *Voice Memo *Software: documents ...
...also fantastic support from the Palm website and some great games / utilities you can downloads. Especially if you like puzzle games. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I have had this PDA now for almost 2 months and have had no negative experiences as yet. It has proved to be a very worthy buy, and works brilliantly with my computer. Any negatives? Well The brilliant blue colour paint has peeled slightly round ...

Zire 72

Advantages: Does just about everything
Disadvantages: The blue paint comes of really easy, making it look bad

I've had this pda for abotu a year and it is really good. It has just about everything rolled into one. It has an easy to use camera which can take pics really big, it has an mp3 and video player, you can take pictures or videos, you can record memo's have a doodle on the drawing pad, upload loads of fun games to do, use word, and make spreedsheets, and even go on the internet and check your emails. One problem i did find is that the blue paint peals ...
...scratching it off as it looked awful, but then the screen stopped working so i got another one, which is also started to chip after a while, i scratch it all of , and now i have a silver zire! but apart from the minor issue about its appearence i think it the best thing to have in ya pocket. ...

An excellent pocket friend!

Advantages: Stylish design, clear screen, receptive pen input
Disadvantages: none

...they work very well. The Palm has online software available too that's fairly easy to download and install and it syncs with my PC seamlessly. My one even came with a nice little protractive case included. All in all a great little machine, nicely designed, well constructed, reliable and feature packed. Lovely! ...

Excellent Value

Advantages: Camera/Camcorder, Bright Screen, Bluetooth, Responsive
Disadvantages: Battery Life, Slow MP3 Transfer, Low Internal Memory

A great all-rounder, perfect for business or leisure use. Business: Ships with 'documents to go' - a great package that syncs nicely with microsoft office. Large hi-res screen displays data clearly, and is great for viewing websites. Very easy to sync with computer, masty copies of data stored on hard drive for back-up, as the internal memory is volitile, so data is lost when out of battery. Leisure: RealOne player as standard - fantastic audio ...
...demanding games and movie decompression perfectly. SD expansion for media. 'Fun' camera/camcorder, good for PDA standards, but by no means a replacement for dedicated gear. Overall a PDA that does VERY nicely for the price. I believe this PDA can compete with some high end windows based palmtops, with more features! A good buy. ...

ITS A MINI PC!!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: Small, light, BLUE!!!
Disadvantages: slow bluetooth transfer, (Maybe thats why you have the data cable :P)

This is my first PDA, which i bought on my trip to New York. I can say that it is one fantastic device. It can perform all the tasks that my laptop can do and im one of those people who trys out all sorts of softwares. Having a built in 1.2digital camear and the ability to send via bluetooth, this PDA can also conect to your fone and dial and send sms via your phones network. I have recently bought a navigation software for this which works like ...
