I just thought I'd throw this in here. This is not, and I repeat, not a thread for or against Palm. I'm just thinking how it could do in the midst of an economic lull and with Palm OS losing market share.
Could this Zire give Palm a boost? Do Palm users actually want these features? I ask that because I believe that Palm and PPC people differ fundamentally in how they use their PDAs.
My take...a nice package for $299 though I don't know about the video playback with a 140Mhz processor. I'll have to see that one for myself. I do like the Producer software though if someone with XP could make a portable version of a movie just as easily for a PPC. It does make it easier to transfer video. The catch is that it's a proprietary format and requires an SD card. Camera is nice but not necessary; No speaker? Hmmm�using headphones are ok but not if you want to share video with a small group of people. Picture transfer integration is nice but 3rd party viewing software will handle that for the PPC. It�s a pity that they didn�t incorporate a virtual Graffiti screen.
