Palm Zire...

Okay, I know this has nothing to do with designing...but I'm thinking about getting a new palm pilot...i have the old Palm IIIe, it dies so quickly and there isnt a lot of space on it...so......

I'm thinking about getting the palm zire...any suggestions? is it good? bad?

any input is appreciated...thanks

I've got that zire thing. It's the cheapest and the white one, right?

I guess it's ok...but the lack of colour and most of all.. BACKLIGHT makes it a bit...annoying. Also, I have noticed the accuracy of the touchscreen thingie gets f***ed up after a while.. it draws like two pixels to the left of where it should..now THAT'S annoying for ya. :D

But yeah.... . ..get the "tungsten" or something. :p

lol - the tungsten is a lot of money - the best there is but expensive as hell - it depends what you want it for - I used to have an M125 - then I got a neovisor. Now I have a Handspring Treo 180 - no color but great features - is also a mobile phone -
If you don't have much money get a Palm 130 - it's got color - it's expandable and nice...

I have the M130 and I think it's a great Palm Pilot for not a lot of money.

for the same price of the tungsen you can get a pocket pc. i think that would be a better investment i have the t-mobile pocket pc and its great.

Yes, I suggest a Pocket PC myself. I still use an m100 though. I got it when it was new. =/

Sony Ericsson's P800 is pretty cool if you wanna get a PDA/Phone hybrid - http://www.sonyericsson.com/us/spg.jsp?page=start&Redir=page%3DP800_UPD_Explore%26B%3Die%26PID%3D9940%26LM%3DPSM_V

Plus it has a cam at the back...
