Advantages Small, Light and Stable Disadvantages It has a OS
...Zire72 is an excellent device with minor problems. For the price its a bargain and will ensure Palm's market share stays high.
Pro's,
1. Its a Palm, with a stable version of Palm OS.
2. Looks good and feels solid in hand.
3. Superb screen and extremely clear.
4. mp3 playback is very good.
5. Uses standard mini USB jack, not propreitary Palm connector.
6. Fast performance. Don't compare raw MHz between PDA's, this one's faster than 400MHz PPC's.
7. Available memory is a lot for a Palm.
8. Good software bundle and Bluetooth (chear up Sony Ericsson or Powerbook users)!
9. Speaker is - suprisingly - good at playing mp3's (64kpbs sounds great).
10. Camera is better than cell phone ones, 1.2 mega pixel.
11. Stylus is very ergonomic.
12. Silver looks better than blue edition, IMO.
Con's,
1. Down button is hard...
