Is The Zire Enough For
You?
I'm a Palm PDA fan. I like the Palm interface, Palm applications, and the
ease of synchronization with the PC that Palm PDAs offer. However, I
can't recommend the Zire for business users.
On the plus side, the Zire is equipped with the
classic Palm applications, and comes with a USB HotSnyc cable for transferring data between your Palm and
your computer and a rechargeable lithium battery.
The Zire also has an infrared port, so you can "beam" information
from one Palm PDA to another. Yes, it really works. As a business user, it's fun and convenient to be
able to just beam your business card or phone number to someone else's Palm PDA.
But if you're planning to use the Zire as a business tool, there are two
drawbacks you should bear in mind .
