Amazon.com Product Description
Building on the success of PalmOne's Zire 71, the Zire 72 is the first Palm-based handheld that can capture digital video with sound and shoot digital still photos. This multimedia PDA also features bright 320 x 320-pixel color screen for optimal playback of video and photos as well as voice recording capability and an MP3 player for listening to your own soundtrack. Other features include Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a 32 MB memory, Secure Digital card expansion, and a fast 312 Mhz Intel PXA270 processor. And, of course, the Zire 72 features Palm's suite of information management applications and the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible files and synchronize with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only). Upgrade Features
The Zire 72 offers the following improvements to the Zire 71: - 1-megapixel image resolution (1280 x 960 pixels); the Zire 71 had a maximum 640 x 480 resolution.
- 32 MB of memory (24.7 MB user available); the Zire 71 had only a 16 MB memory
- Video capture with sound; the Zire 71 only shot still images.
- Digital zoom for closer image capture and in-handheld editing.
- Voice recording capability.
- Wireless Bluetooth connectivity (the Zire 71 connected to your PC only via the HotSync cable)
- At 4.8 ounces, it's 10-percent less weighty than the 5.3-ounce Zire 71.
- Palm OS 5.2.8 (versus 5.2.1 for the Zire 71).
The Zire 72 can easily capture and manage your most important digital files.
| Built-in Camera
The back of the Zire 72 holds the built-in still and video camera, which does not require you to slide the back of the PDA to activate it (like the Zire 71 did). You can shoot video with sound turned on or off at 320 x 240 pixel resolution and 15 frames per second. Just use the handheld screen to frame the video, tap the "record" button on the display, then save your video to an optional expansion card after tapping the "stop" button. For still photography, it features a 1.2-megapixel CMOS sensor with a fixed focus range of about five feet and a 2x digital zoom. It captures up to 1280 x 960 pixel images, as well as 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120 resolution modes. The camera also offers such customized image setting controls as white balance, brightness, saturation, contrast, and sharpness. You can also add date stamp or effects like sepia, black and white, and blue. |
| Audio
The included RealPlayer for Palm OS enables you to listen to MP3 music files stored on optional expansion cards via the built-in speaker on the Zire 72 or, for stereo sound, using optional stereo headphones or ear buds. With the built-in digital voice recorder, you can create voice memos, then synchronize them to your desktop PC and email them to friends and colleagues. Display
The Palm Zire 72 features a 16-bit, 320 x 320 bright transflective TFT color display, which supports more than 65,000 colors. |

 Great product, unbelievable tech help August 5, 2010
Molly
The product I ordered was in excellent condition. Installing it was a little bit complicated because my new computer required additional software. The tech help was unbelievable. They were prompt to respond. They were very informative and helpful. They had to spend a lot of time with me to make sure everything was perfect. The problem was on my side, not theirs. I would definitely order from them again. A very satisfied customer.

This is a great product for taking along information, pictures, documents, etc. I'm rarely without it. I would suggest it for anyone who is on-the-go and needs information at his/her fingertips.
 General look of the Palm April 10, 2010
Yanina Koliren
In the description nothing was said about how the palm looked. When I received it, the upper part was totally peeled. So the price-quality ratio was much lower than expected. Palm works OK and I have no complains about the rest, but if I had known how it really looked I would have never bought if at that price.

 Not able to use! November 7, 2009
Joan J. Stein
Although I had problems with the Zire72, the dealer was extremely helpful and allowed me to return it to him for a full refund. He tried to assist me over the phone first but nothing seemed to work for me even though I have been a Palm user for many years. I would not hesitate to purchase from this dealer in the future. I would rate him a 10! Joan Stein
Palm Zire August 4, 2009
Richard P. Bowen
The Palm was in excellent shape, never removed from the oridinal package, however, it was old and apparently the battery would not hold a charge. Too bad because I had excellent results with my Zire 71. The good part was that the vendor was prompt in responding and making good on the refund. I do not need the new fancy Palms that do everything. Just a simple hand held electronic notepad and address book.
