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...

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. 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....

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

Excellent choice for first handheld organizer

Strengths: Very small, light weight, user-friendly, good technical support from Palm (FAQ), first charge of battery last very long.

Weakness: Not too much information from other users, Not case accesory in the market even at Palm.com.

This is the first time I own such device. I am very excited about it. The transition from post-it to handheld has been kind of hard, in terms of getting used to it, but everything takes time. It has been very easy to use graffitti, all software included. But make sure you read everything otherwise it is kind of hard for you to guess some things. I would recommend this product to anyone who is...

The best entry level Palm yet.

Strengths: 32 MB of memory, easy to use, color screen, and small price.

Weakness: Could use a memory card slot, no instruction booklet.

The new re-branding effort by Palm involves removing the Zire and Tungsten series. The new TX and Z22 are helping Palm get money off of something besides Treos! With 32 MB of memory and a bright color screen, the price is way too low(in a good way). The design is sleek and resembles an iPod. The 5-Way navigator is easy to use and highly convenient. The Z22 also has a very wide variety of PIM...

Z22 Handheld PDA

Strengths: small size

Weakness: instruction book on disc. not able to read without being on the computer or downloading it into the pda first.

I like the size of the Z22 PDA, as well as the price. I was looking for something small and simple that I can keep contact information with me at all times, withogh having to haul around a day planner. I don't know if I'll use the calendar much....but you never know. I don't like the fact that it doesn't come with an instruction booklet. I like to read about things...and not on the computer or...

If I can use it,, anyone can use it!

Strengths: VERY user friendly: Few buttons, no confusion; light weight; easy set up; not for geeks.

Weakness: No case included. Not for geeks.

This is truly the PDA for those of us who are technologically disadvantaged....Or, over 50. If you fear all things involving computers, fear not the Z22. From the installation software to actual use, this is the perfect organizer for "us". My Palm Z22 arrived yesterday and I have already set up all my appointments and reminders for 2006...Happy New (organized) Year to me!

Big things in litttle packages

Strengths: Holds alot of info

Weakness: No case, No instructions. Have to download Cd or go to website.

I am so excited to have my very first palm. It is perfect for a beginner like me. I have already downloaded pictures and added all my contacts from Microsoft Outlook. I like that I can enter this info on my computer and transfer it to my Pda. The first time I Hotsync', I was sure something would go wrong. But surprise! There were pics of my baby boy staring at me from this little screen. I also...

Palm Z22

It can’t be a coincidence that the new low-end Palm Z22 has that iPod vibe working from the time you unpack it. Clearly, this very light and highly usable consumer-oriented organizer yearns to be as user-friendly, cute, and handy as Apple’s blockbuster music gadget. The white... <p>

Palm Z22

All facts considered, the Z22 is powered by a pretty healthy 200MHZ processor and 32 megs of RAM (20 of which can be used for storage). Physically the unit is small and stylish, borrowing simple clean styling cues of another hot market trend of the moment, the iPod. Interfacing is done via the 2.5 inch diagonal touch screen display capable of displaying thousands of colors at a 160 x 160 pixel...

Palm Z22 Review

Welcome to the first sub $100 PDA with a color screen. Need a small device that can replace your alarm clock, keep phone numbers handy, track to-do's for you, show family photos and work as a digital ink pad that will never run out? Never used a PDA before? Then the Z22 is for you. It can hold thousands of contacts, calendar items and to-do's, yet weighs only 3.4 ounces and fits smartly in the...
