Palm PDA

Palm has been the name in PDAs for as long as these devices have been in use. Its products are on the cutting edge, and it continues to develop some of the most widely used PDAs in the world. Palm has an extensive line of PDAs, ranging from the inexpensive smaller versions all the way up to the ultra-luxurious "business" class versions.

The Palm Zire line has some great lower-end PDAs that provide many of the best features of the higher-end models. The Zire 72 in particular has some desirable features, including a 1.2 megapixel built-in camera for capturing both still photos and small video clips. You can then download these images directly to your computer, where they can then be e-mailed and distributed like any other digital image.

Of course, when most people imagine a Palm PDA, they imagine a superior organizational helper. The Zire 72 comes equipped with Microsoft Outlook, which features an exceptional "day planner" and address and e-mail organizer. The Zire 72 also has the ability to organize schedules and photos so that they can be accessed easily and quickly.

One of the most technologically advanced aspects of the Zire 72 Palm PDA is its Bluetooth technology. With the Zire 72, you can actually hook up to a mobile phone (that also has Bluetooth technology) and use the phone as a modem. You can then access the Internet using only your Palm PDA and your mobile phone. This makes remotely accessing your e-mail possible anywhere there's a cell phone tower.
