    I've adored my Zire 71 for a few years now. It's my first Palm; I'd had only Handspring before that, and was wary when they went under. What I love about this PDA is the surprisingly clear digital camera and the easy to navigate MP3 player, by Real Player. However, Palm's new core software sucks a little in their upgrades of Datebook and Grafiti. Their old platforms allowed for "floating events" and allowed To Do item to show on the Date Book. Grafiti 2 is just dumb, Grafiti 1 is so much easier to use (check internet tech groups for hacks!).

    The only reason I'm dissatified is because I'm spoiled now by new technological advances and really want WIFI on my PDA. So, I'm upgraded to Zire 72. The 72's the only Palm with a digital camera, WIFI capacity and the MP3 option.

    I like:
    - you can add memory - SD card
    - good as mp3 player (using SD card) + organizer + oxford dictionary+other palm software (ebooks), pdf, maps.

    I don't like:
    - short life of battery - max 2 days on standby
    - lack of lock function - if you keep the zire 71 in a small case or bag and any of the controls get pushed the pda display will turn on and eat the battery.
    - lack of real encryption for stored data - don't store any sensitive infos on this PDA !! If you loose it or get stolen ....they have your data for free !!!
    - the built-in camera failed after 3 months !! after all kinds of reset ... hardware/software ..I give up ...no digital camera.
    - strange ticking noise when is ON ? Someone told me is because there was a wrong instalation of the frame over the touch screen ...possible to be true.

    Conclusion:
    is a good PDA but don't ask too much from zire 71 ...
