Building on the success of PalmOne's Zire 71, the Zire
72 is the first Palm-based handheld that can capture digital
video with sound and shoot digital still photos. This multimedia
PDA also features bright 320 x 320-pixel color screen for optimal
playback of video and photos as well as voice
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. And, of course, the Zire
72 features Palm's suite of information management applications
and the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible files and
synchronize with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).
Upgrade Features
The Zire 72 offers the following improvements to the Zire 71:
* 1-megapixel image resolution (1280 x 960 pixels); the Zire 71
had a maximum 640 x 480 resolution.
* 32 MB of memory (24.7 MB user available); the Zire 71 had only
a 16 MB memory
* Video capture with sound; the Zire 71 only still images.
* Digital zoom for closer image capture and in-handheld editing.
* Voice capability.
* Wireless Bluetooth connectivity (the Zire 71 connected to your
PC only via the HotSync cable)
* At 4.8 ounces, it's 10-percent less weighty than the 5.3-ounce
Zire 71.

digital files.

frames per second. Just use the handheld screen to frame the
video, tap the "record" button on the display, then save your
video to an optional expansion card after tapping the "stop"
button.
For still photography, it features a 1.2-megapixel CMOS sensor
with a fixed focus range of about five feet and a 2x digital
zoom. It captures up to 1280 x 960 pixel images, as well as 640 x
480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120 resolution modes. The camera also
offers such customized image setting controls as white balance,
brightness, saturation, contrast, and sharpness. You can also add
date stamp or effects like sepia, black and white, and blue.
