This special silver version of the Zire 72 also features bright 320 x 320-pixel color screen for optimal playback of video and photos as well as voice recording capability and an MP3 player for listening to your own soundtrack. Other features include Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a 32 MB memory, Secure Digital card expansion, and a fast 312 Mhz Intel PXA270 processor.

It's also available in the original blue version. p bUpgrade Features/bbr The Zire 72 offers the following improvements to the Zire 71: ul li1-megapixel image resolution (1280 x 960 pixels); the Zire 71 had a maximum 640 x 480 resolution. li32 MB of memory (24.7 MB user available); the Zire 71 had only a 16 MB memory liVideo capture with sound; the Zire 71 only shot still images. liDigital zoom for closer image capture and in-handheld editing. liVoice recording capability. liWireless Bluetooth connectivity (the Zire 71 connected to your PC only via the HotSync cable) liAt 4.8 ounces, it's 10-percent less weighty than the 5.3-ounce Zire 71. liPalm OS 5.2.8 (versus 5.2.1 for the Zire 71). /ul bBuilt-in Camera/bbr The back of the Zire 72 holds the built-in still and video camera, which does not require you to slide the back of the PDA to activate it (like the Zire 71 did).

I love my Zire72! It is wonderful to have games, books, calendar, address book, music and note pad all in one! The freedom to be able to have all my information in a compact easy to use easy to carry place is well worth every penny. Easy Hotsinc makes it enjoyable to use.

When my Zire 72 recently suffered a screen malfunction, I started shopping for a newer model -- I thought I'd find an updated Palm with more bells whistles. To my surprise, none of the new models have the video and camera that the Zire has. I suppose it's Palm's way of pushing you towards buying a Treo -- but I don't like the phone/Palm combo, so I went for another Zire. I have to admit I paid more for this one because it's silver and soooooo pretty -- much nicer than the standard blue I had before -- but I'll just count that as the cost of being a girl. :o)
