Digital camera reviews of PalmOne Zire 71 Handheld
Digital camera Review: fun little machine
Summary: 4 Stars
this is my first pda..and I rarely use it, so I'm not a good one to review it..but it was fairly easy to figure out.. Getting photos into the pda from my computer was sort of complicated but I did it, and still have not figured out how to get the photos in to the computer.. the camera is pretty convenient but not great so don't plan to use it for important photos.. it is a fun little unit and certainly worth what I paid for it. I bought it used
Summary of PalmOne Zire 71 Handheld
Keep phone numbers and addresses on hand. Write to-do lists. Take notes in meetings. The Zire 71 handheld helps you do it all - and keep it all organized. The joystick-like 5-way navigator gives you quick, one-handed access to your information. Want to capture a spontaneous moment? Simply slide your handheld open to expose the protected, hidden camera. Then point, shoot and share with friends and family. Take your favorite MP3s, video clips and audio books with you wherever you go. It is a snap to organize and move files from your handheld to your desktop and back again. A new, high-resolution color screen vibrantly displays images, graphics and type. Rechargeable batteries give you plenty of time to enjoy the action. An ultra-fast ARM processor handles the most demanding media tasks with blazing efficiency. Plus, 16 MB of memory gives you plenty of storage space for digital photos, games and applications.Palm?s Zire brand is designed primarily for consumers rather than for professionals. The first Zire was a low cost, entry level machine, this one, the second in the range, is a multimedia extravaganza. The most eye catching feature of the Zire 71, after you?ve noticed the sleek rounded blue casing for the hardware, is the built-in digital camera.

Palm has even produced a new version of Palm Desktop to help you make the most of managing digital images. This includes a nice viewer and some editing tools. Palm Desktop also, incidentally, has a new installer which is more efficient than before when it comes to selecting multiple applications to send to your Palm. The Zire 71 runs version 5 of the Palm operating system, which has improved sound features. Install the provided copy of the Real One player and you can play MP3 music through headphones. Gaming is assisted by a joystick style navigation button that sits beneath the screen. But when you want to use the Zire 71 for more traditional personal information management tasks you can tap the application shortcut buttons to launch Date Book, Address Book or Note Pad. The fourth button takes you to your digital photo library. As usual these buttons can be reallocated to other applications if you like.
Only 13MB of to the 16MB of memory on board is actually available for applications and data, but an SD card slot means you can add to this easily. The screen is a superb transreflective TFT type ? it is the best we?ve seen on a PDA from Palm. The Universal Connector means existing peripherals like keyboards which support this should work without problems with the Zire 71. The Zire 71 is a great multimedia PDA which finally puts Palm in a position to rival Sony for its Multimedia crown. --Sandra Vogel
