PDAs : Palm Zire 21

I really like my Palm Zire. It is very easy to use and love the syn with my laptop. I am just looking for some software to upgrade. Want a Dictionary.... Looks like I have to spend $ on a package.

But I do like the convienence, size and features. Hide Full Review

This Palm is a great deal. It's cheap, and it's well worth the money. The Zire 21 has a very fast processor, and 8 mb of memory. It is also very light and easy to use, but the problems become apparant: No backlight, no keyboard attatchments, etc. Very good bargain, though! Hide Full Review

Great palm, the value is superb and cannot be beat for the basic hadndhelp pda. The ease of use and the 8mb of memmory is outstanding for the price. There is plenty of memory for a few games and also to read some e-books in your spare time. My only complaint is that there still is not a backlight just as the origional Zire. I would however recomend this palm to anybody on a budget. You can't go wrong! Just buy a lighted-pen-type stylus and you are good to go. The blue cover that comes with the Zire 21 is a good idea but cheap and gets in the way. It is better to purchase screen protectors or the Zire hard case to protect it. Hide Full Review

It's a great device for simply moving information. Store ebooks, first aid manuals, bus/train schedules, notes on how to operate other machines... anything you can think of... I'm still trying to figure an easy way to get maps on it.

There's no backlight and this is a huge pain for some people.

You can't attach many accessories to it like keyboard, headphones, memory cards, modem...

The keyword here is minimalist...

But with enough ingenuity, you could find away around some problems. Hide Full Review
