Thinking of buying a Palm

I want to buy a Palm. Yea, a PDA, and Pocket PC is totally out of choice due to number of applications running on it. Moreover, Palm application is more friendly, try it and you’d know. My Palm experience is limited to playing around with Handspring Visor Deluxe 2 years ago. It was used mainly for some application development and testing purpose then, so I don’t really ever use Palm day in and day out. Anyhow, such a small and stylish gadget could do me a great favor, in a particular field — DISCIPLINE. There are so many times I forgot things to do and I always want to jot down some random thought, regularly monitor my spending, time management…enough reasons for it.

Here’s come the survey..nope, I am lazy and tired, and hate to surf around to check out which’s good which’s bad — and then confusing myself (always end up to confusion). My choice is limited to a few latest Palm PDA (Tungsten series, Palm Zire 71 or some Sony CLIE models) since Palm seem to be on the edge after their Tungsten series (so Handspring is out. And btw, they’ve been merged with Palm). Blog rocks! I just checked Aizuddin’s survey, compare of Palm Zire 71 and CLIE SJ33, and his review of Palm Zire 71, I have almost made up my mind. Palm Zire 71 would be the choice. Feel good of how helpful is blog.

At last, the only problem is, I am greedy. A Palm, or a decent digital camera? No decision yet. (No budget for both).

It's already been available for a few months now, but PalmInfocenter has a review of the Zire 71, Palm's mid-level "consumer" handheld, which runs on Palm OS 5.2 and has a 144MHz processor, 16MB of RAM, a 320x320 pixel, 65,000 color display, and a built-in digital camera. ... Ryan gives the Zire 71 points for having a great screen and good battery life, but wishes that its camera took better pictures.
