	Palm Zire 71 Review
		The battery in the Zire 71 is a 900mAh lithum-ion rechargeable.
		A few minor things that the Zire 71 lacks but would be a nice addition include a microphone for voice recording, a LED to indicate charging status and vibration alert.
		She was constantly draining the battery because she would put the Zire in the provided "leater" case, throw it in her purse, and then find out that presure on the case was causing it to hit against the D-Pad and turn it on.

	Palm Zire 72 Reviews. PDAs Reviews by CNET.
		The Zire's camera is built into the back of the device, where it (along with the expansion slot) adds a bit of bulk to the top of the handheld.
		Like the Zire 31, the Zire 72 has a slot that is deeply recessed into the top of the unit; we found it difficult to insert and remove the memory card.
		Compared to the Zire 71, the Zire 72 runs on a faster 312MHz Intel PXA270 processor, and it has twice the memory, for a total of 32MB (24MB of which are user-accessible).

	Brighthand Reviews the Palm Zire 71
		The only downsides we could find with the Zire 71 were its lack of integrated wireless (and its non-existent support for Palm's Bluetooth SD Card), its lack of flash ROM (which means you won't be able to upgrade its OS), and the lack of voice recording (for those who really, really need that feature).
		The Zire 71 comes with 16MB of SDRAM (13MB of which is usable), which is plenty for most average users but considerably shy of that found on the new Tungsten C and most Pocket PCs.
		Unfortunately, the Zire 71's battery is not user replaceable, and it can only be charged through the serial port (there's no separate AC port), so you'll either have to charge it through the cradle or purchase a travel charger.

	Brighthand Reviews the palmOne Zire 72
		At 4.6 inches tall, 3.0 inches wide, and 0.7 inches thick (12 cm x 7.5 cm x 1.7 cm), the Zire 72 is comparable to some of its competitors, the Dell Axim X3 and the Toshiba e400.
		The Zire 72 runs Palm OS Garnet (5.2.8), essentially the same version of the operating system palmOne has used on all its models for the last year.
		The Zire 72 includes 32 MB of RAM, but only 25 MB of this is available to you for storing applications and files.

	O'Reilly Network -- A Review of PalmOne’s Zire 72 and 31
		The Zire 72 is an upgraded model of the Zire 71, with an improved camera, faster processor, and a larger memory.
		When I next reviewed the Zire 31 ($149), my first reaction was influenced by the quality of the screen (see Figure 11), which was less than ideal compared to the better screen of the Zire 72.
		In contrast to the Zire 72, the Zire 31's screen is a STN (Super Twisted Nematic) display with resolution of 160 by 160.

	Mobile-review.com Review Palm Zire 31
		The Zire 21 can be called a tuning variant: more powerful processor and new OS version didn’t improve the situation as they functioned in a restricted way with the monochrome screen and without an audio jack.
		Secondly, the Zire 31 comes with a color screen, which is not among the best, but still (Its predecessor the Zire 21 will definitely stay one of the last mass handhelds with a monochrome screen).
		The top of the Zire 31 is a dark translucent plastic that has the double set of elements: IrDA port and the stylus silo are now neighboring with a headphone jack (3.5 mm) and SD slot protected by a shutter.

		Building on the remarkable success of the Zire 71 released a year ago, the Palm Zire 72 is all things that the 71 was and more.
		Gone is the Zire 71's slider which revealed the camera; the Zire 72 has a fixed camera lens located near the top edge of the unit's backside that's always exposed and ready to go.
		The Zire 72 is the first PDA to use Intel's new PXA270 processor at 312 MHz.

	The Gadgeteer - Palm Zire Review
		Unlike the m100, 105 and 125, the face plate on the Zire is not removable.
		The Zire's display is almost identical in size to the m100, 105 and 125.
		I should also point out that the Zire does not have any status LEDs to let you know when the PDA is charging (by the way, the green stripe on the power button is NOT an LED).

	Palm: Zire tops 1 million units sold \| CNET News.com
		The Zire is a $99 low-end device, which comes with 2MB of memory--typical for entry-level Palm handhelds--a fl-and-white screen and a rechargeable battery.
		The Zire was introduced late last year, shortly after Palm split its product line into two brands: the Zire for entry-level consumers, and the Tungsten for gadget fans and mobile professionals.
		Palm has been struggling of late, but it's counting on the Zire line to tap the potentially huge consumer market while using the Tungsten line and its midrange Zire 71 to appease its traditionally loyal enthusiast audience.

	Pen Computing Magazine: Palm Zire 71 review
		While it looks similar to the original Zire, with its practical, yet attractively tapered shape, many differences quickly become obvious: the larger screen, the four buttons and joystick, and the more expensive-looking finish, all suggest that there's quite a bit more going on in the 71.
		The original Zire was a flashback to 1999, embodying the Palm III in a simplified form factor, but the Zire 71 in many ways exceeds the capabilities of the higher-priced Tungsten T, introduced less than a year ago.
		This Zire is truly worthy of such a cool name, a consumer product that I could recommend to all who think they might need a PDA, because it is economical, powerful, convenient, expandable, and downright snazzy.

		Small, light, and compact, the Palm Zire handheld is a great PDA for anyone looking for a basic electronic personal information manager to help organize their tasks, meetings, and contacts.
		Zire has a very stilish design it is almost as small as a Palm M515 or clie T 665.
		Zire is cheap and convenient enough to take it anywhere you want and you don't get upset when you bang it around a bit.

	Rumor: Picture of Palm Zire
		Posted By: Ed on Thursday, September 19, 2002 1:15:17 PM Geek.com has been leaked a picture of the Palm Zire, the low-end model Palm Inc. is expected to announce next month.
		They wil buy a Zire, love it, realize in 6 months it is too small, give it to their kid (or wife or brother-inlaw) and buy a better model.
		I.M. Anonymous @ 9/19/2002 3:16:52 PM It might be true that a large number of Palms have third party software, but I think the point of the Zire is not to appeal to people who want to add a lot of apps, but to a new market of people who don't currently use Palm's.

	Two new Zires from PalmOne - ZDNet UK Reviews
		The Zire 31 is a step up from the entry-level Zire 21, while the Zire 72 follows on from the successful multimedia-oriented Zire 71, whose innovative sliding mechanism protects a built-in digital camera.
		Like the Zire 71, this is a multimedia device: one of the application shortcut buttons is dedicated to playing digital music files, and there's a built-in digital camera.
		The camera (which loses the sliding mechanism seen in the Zire 71) is a 1.2 megapixel unit that can capture video at 320 by 240, has a 2x digital zoom, and provides special effects such as sepia and fl-and-white.

		The Zire 72 is fast thanks to a modern Intel PXA270 processor, and it comes with the heralded Documents-to-Go so you can load, view and modify Microsoft Word and Excel documents.
		The Zire 72 is lighter, slimmer, faster, and more attractive than its predecessor, yet remains appealing to its target audience.
		That it's on the Zire 72 is excellent, because now I can also recommend this handheld to those wanting to get their email and browse the Web with their handheld.

		That's not superlight, but this Zire is relatively compact (4.5 by 2.9 by 0.7 inches), especially for one that features a built-in camera.
		Thankfully, Palm has equipped the Zire 71 with a high-resolution, 320x320-pixel, transflective 65,000-color display, which was so sorely lacking in some of its early color units and that left them a step behind the color CLIEs.
		As noted, unlike the original Zire, this model has an SD slot at the top of the device, as well as a stereo headphone jack and a tiny mono speaker on the back of the unit.

	Geek.com PDA Review: Palm Zire 71
		The Zire 71 competes with the Sony SJ series of devices, but is the only one at this price point with an integrated camera.
		The Zire can easily move right and left on the cradle and you have to be careful here so you don't mess up the connector on the cradle or the Zire.
		The Zire 71 is designed as a consumer device, and Palm must have figured that PIM apps and entertainment were more important than work-related activities for the targeted market.

		The first Zire was a low cost, entry level machine; this one, the second in the range, is a multimedia extravaganza.
		The most eye catching feature of the Zire 71, after you've noticed the sleek rounded blue casing for the hardware, is the built-in digital camera.
		The Zire 71 is a great multimedia PDA that finally puts Palm in a position to rival Sony for its Multimedia crown.

		The Zire is the lightest handheld we've played with, at a mere 109 grams and measuring 111 x 73.6 x 16 mm.
		Another major omission Palm made with the Zire is to include only two application buttons, the first Palm OS handheld ever to move away from the standard four app-and-rocker layout.
		The Zire lacks a card slot, and is the first Palm OS handheld to lack a bottom-end serial connector as well.

		As of Spring 2003, the basic Zire had sold well over 1 million units since it was introduced and is likely to sell a total of 2 million units by the start of next year.
		The Palm Zire has been a very successful design for Palm but the true bang for the buck is actually very small when compared to prior Palm and Sony handheld that eventually fell to the $90-$125 range.
		The fact that the Zire is under $100 and sells usually at a price significantly lower than that have contributed to its huge success.

		The Zire 72 has a dedicated shutter button for the built-in camera, and the lens area is set off with a handsome metallic trim that resembles the head of an electric shaver.
		The Zire camera, with its 2X digital zoom, is no replacement for a standard digital camera, but 1.2 megapixels are more than ample for sending images by e-mail or posting them on a Web page.
