Palm Z22

Z22

Strengths: Very easy to use for beginners.

Weakness: Lack of expandability.

This is really a great device for the tehno-novice folks. Has a good processor with more than enough memory for beginners. The reputation of Palm company as the manufacturer is reassuring. Can certainly be used as a versatile tool as well.

Easy to use PDA for beginners

Strengths: Low cost, easy to use, color screen, small size is easy to fit in pocket or purse

Weakness: Screen is smaller than state of the art PDAs

This is a very easy to use PDA right out of the box. We purchased this unit for my wife's mom who is not an electronics lover, however the Palm OS and simplified button menus made this an easy to use PDA for her. It is easy to create and store names/addresses, memos, and even upload photos. There are just enough functions to satisfy any beginner without other confusing features. There are no...

This is a very easy to use PDA right out of the box. We purchased this unit for my wife's mom who is not an electronics lover, however the Palm OS and simplified button menus made this an easy to use PDA for her. It is easy to create and store names/addresses, memos, and even upload photos. There are just enough functions to satisfy any beginner without other confusing features. There are no wireless or online functions, so this would not be the unit to get for any expecting to expand their PDA later on. Durability of the unit remains to be judged, but the overall build quality feels good.

Palm Z22

Strengths: 1. Great product for the price 2. Good beginner Palm

Weakness: 1. Do not buy for anything more than basic hanheld tasks

This is a pretty good little PDA. Plus right now Palm.com gives you a free air case with the order which makes it absolutely worth it. However, just know that it is onlt for beginning users and is really just a very fancy scheduler/ address book.

Palm Z22

Strengths: Compact size, features

Weakness: User manual not included, must be downloaded from web site.

For those who don't need one device that tries to be everything (PDA, phone, camera, music player) the Z22 is perfect.

The color display has good resolution. It syncs to your computer via included USB cable....

It's small and lightweight (2.7"x4.05"x.6", 3.4 oz.)and provides all the features you need for a basic PDA. It provides 20 MB of user memory to store contacts, appointments, photos and games. The color display has good resolution. It syncs to your computer via included USB cable. It's powered by a rechargeable battery with an included AC adapter that plugs into the unit's USB port. Operation of the unit is very intuitive and the included software installed without any problem. The software includes a program that allows you to transfer photos from your computer to the PDA for display. Another nice calculator feature allows you to enter the cost of your meal and it calculates the tax and tip and gives you the per person cost based on the number of diners you enter. Saves fighting over the dinner bill split. Unit does not come with a case, one must be purchased separately.

Plam Z22 - Great for fitting in a purse

Strengths: Size, capacity and clarity of screen

Weakness: Rechargeable non-replaceable battery will eventually wear down

The Palm Z22 is a compact unit capable of fitting neatly in purse or front shirt pocket carrying all of one's necessary information. It is a basic no frills unit that packs a lot of punch
